...first change of note will be the installation of a large electrical scoreboard at next year's meet. This will be operated from the finish line and on it will be flashed the starters in each event, the numbers of the winners, the correct times and other points which would be interesting to the spectators. Heretofore the great difficulty has been for everyone to hear the announcers in the noise and confusion and the new arrangement will supply the spectators and press box with the desired information more accurately and promptly...
...Blaine gives us a letter from Germany sent him by Dr. Heerdt who "is in charge of a station for the distribution of French and English prisoners near Frankfort." It is perhaps difficult to agree with Mr. Blaine's introduction when he calls the letter's "sustained note of advice" a "radical" characteristic. But we agree with Dr. Heerdt, though for reasons opposed to his, when he says, "The German Army is not an institution which you can imitate even with slight success without changing your entire standard of life," because "the Army here is the Nation and the nation...
...presents a surprising contrast to the "Pagan" issue of last month. The figures and sentiments of antiquity no longer flit through its pages; they are replaced by comparatively modern and sordid actualities; like the U. S.

...associations which fill the Yard. But very few know much about the rapidly passing generations of college men who have lived in them. The lists posted in some of the dormitories, although now no longer up to date, help a little to remedy this; and it is encouraging to note that they are to be extended to the rooms of the other buildings. It may be suggested that, inasmuch as the names of the better known recent members of the University still have some currency among present undergraduates, it would be of value to keep the lists already posted...
Friends of special interest activities in the University will be glad to note the recrudescence of the Wireless Club. This time the organization has struck a vein of new enthusiasm for radio telegraphy; it has the support of research students at the Cruft Laboratory, is to become a member of the American Radio Relay League, and to do some actual experimental work in the receiving and sending of messages. If successful, the Wireless Club will present a worthy example of what can be done in developing serious interests on undergraduate initiative...
