...custom well rid of and marks the passing of another of certain few objectionable traditions which we inherited from the days when Harvard was a College, but which today, as a University built on broad and free lines, we have long since outgrown. Such things have their place in various undergraduate communities where the college as a wholly unique social species is uppermost in the minds of all, and where the atmosphere is best described by the very word "college." We congratulate the University and as undergraduates congratulate ourselves that this pernicious institution has been permanently laid on the shelf...
...fifty 16 candle power Edison lamps used to light the wall cases have been replaced by eighteen Tungsten lamps of higher power. The new lights are much more agreeable to the eye, being protected by shades, and also effect a great saving in expense. On the tables in place of Edison lamps, tantalum lamps, less trying to the eye and one-half as expensive, have been substituted. Similar changes have been made over the catalogue cases in the delivery room, which give a more satisfactory illumination and effect a large financial saving...

McKay failed to kick the goal...
...whole new backfield was then put in, White being substituted for Smith, Sprague for Graydon, Vogel for Kennard, while Philippbar went in Burr's place at left guard. Bowdoin kicked off to Vogel, who juggled the ball and Bowdoin got it on Harvard's 25-yard line. After two line plays Bowdoin made a goal from placement but was put back ten yards for holding; here the ball was fumbled and regained on the 53-yard line. Bowdoin now tried a forward pass which failed and the ball went to Harvard at the middle of the field. Harvard held...
