...Haven, Conn., June 7.--F. T. Nelson '10 was today elected captain of the Yale track team for next year. Nelson prepared for Yale at Lawrenceville School. In his freshman year he won first place in the pole-vault in the meet with Harvard 1910. Last year he tied for first in the dual meet and in the intercollegiates, and this spring he won the pole-vault in the Harvard and Princeton dual meets, and tied for second place in the intercollegiate games...
...people. It is with reason, therefore, that we can speak of education as our most important industry. The achievements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been great--greater even than the public is aware. Not only does the institute each year send out its young men to place their skilled services at the disposal of the world, but the number of her faculty have constantly--and often without remuneration--been solving problems which contribute materially to our welfare and the progress of the world.

The photographs have been exhibited at the University of Pennsylvania, which received the first prize in the intercollegiate exhibit, and after a week in Cambridge they will be taken to Dartmouth, which was awarded third place. The photographs may be seen between 9 A. M. and 6 P. M. daily...

Rand won his place in the front rank by the measure in which he contributed to the building up of this season's team. Without detracting from the coaches' credit, it is only fair to say, in the words of one of them, that Rand was the "sun-shine" of the team. Confronted by material appreciably...
...captain will have a difficult precedent to follow, but his work has been characterized by pains-taking assiduity--not only that, it is common talk that his assistance played a material part in the success of other members of the team. On his own part, from failing to place in the dual shot-put a year ago, he has become the intercollegiate champion and all but record-holder. Starting with the material at hand, there is no reason why the hard work he can be counted upon to put in should not make for victories...
