...editorial columns, though spiritually without blame, are not thoroughly alive even in treating new problems. They are disfigured, too, by such expressions as "broader leavening function" and "unconsciousably." Mr. Greene's "Harvard and the Nation" makes known much important truth; Professor Wambaugh's excellent exposition in the series called "Choice of a Profession" will scarcely help the Cincinnati delegates,--most of whom are already sentenced for life,--but to a hesitating Senior it may prove invaluable. More than a third of the Advocate is written by members of the Faculty. If the paper is to follow the CRIMSON in pressing...
...they reach it. "The Great Swamp" is a half breed and Indian story, in general plan like Mr. Lawrence Mott's work, with more accuracy but less picturesquencess and dash. In some passages the sentences are monotonously short. "Gentlemen and Seamen" treats of the old merchant sea-captains in New England and of Salem, the old seaport for trade with the East. The feeling in the article is good; but the imperfect workmanship and the tendency to moralize give the effect of a school composition.

...Kelley, Merrithew, and deSelding all won their way to the finals, and in the high jump Harwood, Lawrence and Pope are left. Captain Rand showed his best form in both the hurdle races and Foster ran strongly in his heat in the 220-yard dash. Captain Rand established a new Harvard record in the 120-yard hurdles by winning his heat in 15 2-5 seconds...
...pole-vault was the most extraordinary event of the day. Six men cleared the bar at 12 feet, 1 1-8 inches, thereby creating a new intercollegiate record. The men who now hold the record are J. L. Barr '09, C. S. Campbell and F. T. Neison, both of Yale, E. T. Cook of Cornell, J. F. Pickles of Pennsylvania, and C. Vezin, Jr., of Princeton. If the weather is good today, this record will undoubtedly be beaten again. The distances in the broad jump were surprisingly poor, but this may be partially accounted for by the heavy take...
