...number of old Mott Haven men and others interested in Harvard athletics will be present to tell the candidates of the necessity of developing a winning team this year. Among the graduates expected are Dr. Frank Wells '64, giver of the Wells Cup which is competed for by the four classes of each year, T. J. Coolidge '84, captain of the '84 team, G. H. Kip, who formerly held the Harvard hammer and shot records, C. P. Curtis '83, who rowed on two winning crews, R. S. Hale '91, the walker, H. M. Wheelwright '94, captain of the '94 team...
...seems to be no reason why Harvard with her large field for selection, larger than any other college has, should not get together a winning team more often than has been the case of late, and it is hard for many of the graduates who were winners on the old Mott Haven Team for years to understand why their clean line of victories is not at least approximated in recent years...

Rather than see the exercises moved from the old "flower tree," where they have been held ever since Class Day itself has been held, the CRIMSON would have the number of admissions to the enclosure greatly lessened. If these measures are found impracticable, other grounds will have to be chosen for there is no way of increasing the size...
...itself have little weight. The flowers, particularly the class figures, should perhaps be so lowered that the struggle need not be so violent and that "concerted action" might not be necessary. But that the scrimmage is brutal, that football clothes should not be worn, and so practically that the old scrimmage should develop into a formal presentation to each Senior of a boutenniere, is absurd. A man may take part in the scrimmage without losing dignity or without being brutal or ungentlemanly...
Professor J. Trowbridge, Director of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, has recently made several important discoveries in electricity. He has found that just ten thousand volts are necessary to produce the so-called X-rays. His discoveries have broken up the old theory that the carbons in an are light must be united to start the flow of light; it seems that, as a matter of fact, the first spark overcomes the atmospheric resistance and the column of air thus heated conducts the following stream of light...
