...into a role which she has already half assumed in establishing such things as the "Historic Operatic Concerts." The interest is all ready to be used, but it can not be used unless in some way Harvard students can attend the opera. A few Harvard seats, which men could obtain at reduced rates would be a step in the right direction, and this, of course, would cost money. There are many schemes suggested for bringing about the relations that we encourage, but the particular arrangements are not for us to decide. All that the CRIMSON wishes to emphasize is that...
...enough Yale has recently outclassed Harvard in this particular, but this season Captain Gardner seems to be the only star field athlete, and Harvard should make a relatively better showing. The Great need of the 1912 track team is a large squad of field men, whence the coaches may obtain consistent performers in the weights and jumps. If these can be developed, Captain Withington's team will turn out unusually well-balanced...

It is just these two classes that this year's track team needs. From just such men some of the best track and field athletes have been developed.

No matter how many pages of notes they take, they will fail to obtain the emphasis on the important points which the professor could present at the conclusion of his treatment of the subject. We consider the comprehensive reviews as now presented in several courses merely a summing up, a retrospection, in no sense a "first aid" to those who have not done the regular work. The very fact that...
