...comparison of the two crews Harvard is perhaps physically superior and has the advantage of greater experience. The stroke-oars in both crews have never rowed in a four-mile race. Wallis stroked the winning Yale university four last year, while Cutler was the stroke of last year's winning Harvard Freshman eight. Both are very smooth oars and row a long, well-proportioned stroke, but of the two Cutler is a great deal the heavier and more rugged. By the time of the race both crews should be fast and in the best of condition. A prediction...
...baseball team gave proof yesterday of the quality which has been characteristic of it throughout the season--hard fighting. With the score 2 to 0 against them, and with one bad inning behind them, the men were never unsettled; they played hard and fast, and they played to win. Harvard's pitchers were the better and the Harvard team the steadier. In the words of one of the Yale players, "Harvard had the better team, but Yale had the luck to start with"; the element of luck which favored Yale at the outset was counterbalanced by Harvard's luck later...
...moral turpitude attached to cheating in these examinations which are such an important factor in final grades. The temptation to cheat in the finals is of course proportionately stronger, and weighs particularly upon men whose connection with the College depends upon the outcome. None the less, complaints almost never reach the College Office, and in the past three years only two instances have come to our notice. We do not attribute this to the supervision of proctors, which by no means renders impossible the use of blotters on which the necessary facts or formulae are written, but to the universal...
...CRIMSON believes that the least beneficial form of this written work is the weekly conference paper, used in many of the larger courses. It cannot pretend to be an adequate test of the student's knowledge from its short length, and in many courses it is never considered seriously by the members of the class. If oral questioning were substituted, a great deal of good would be done. The preparation for the lecture would have to be more thorough, there could be no unfairness, and the men could not help getting more out of the courses than they...
...while Lightner of Yale took the lead, but when the final race for positions began he dropped rapidly behind. Early in the last lap Taylor began to sprint, Dull doggedly holding his position a few yards behind. At the same time Jaques began his final spurt, but the leaders never slackened, although it seemed impossible to keep up such a fast pace till the end. Instead of weakening, however, Taylor even increased his speed on the final stretch and crossed the line in splendid form. Dull ran far under the former record and was a close second. Jaques's time...
