Swimming, for its vigorous exercise and purity, should be favored by the Faculty, because the contestants, as in tennis and rowing, are not subject to the temptation offered for dirty work. But the proposed plan of those in power is to cut out even this team, which, moreover, has only four contests a year, necessitating two absences only, from Cambridge. Surely the time taken away from studies to prepare for these contests, especially when practice is very light, because of the lack of a pool, can hardly be said to injure a swimmer's standing in the University.

A tank lined with thick walls of solid concrete was first sunk in the ground, and in this receptacle, ballasted with about 10 tons of iron at its lower end, floats the steel cylinder forming...
...vote clearly indicates the popularity of the new plan. While the average total cost of board for March was $4.96, it was $5.38 during March 1907. The allowance for absence over Sunday has also proved a popular measure, as 25 per cent. of the members have taken advantage...
