...will help the swimming team, and encourage swimming in general. It will make membership in the Union even more desirable than it is now. It will make the Union still further a center for Harvard life by knitting it up with our athletic interests.

...mise en scene of "Sumurun" is of a simplicity that rebukes our habitual elaborate settings, and the oriental atmosphere is reproduced with striking intensity.

The results of the past season have shown that a large number of candidates would come out, and that Harvard has the material with which to form a representative team. These two facts should weigh heavily in deciding upon the recognition of swimming...
