...only four men have reported for electrical work on the Dramatic Club as opposed to seventeen candidates for the fall production. This showing is remarkably poor especially on the part of the Freshman class. The competition has been changed this spring so that the work is not so hard as formerly. All men with a knowledge of the elements of electrical connections stand a good chance of making the club, besides acquiring valuable information in regard to stage lighting and practical electricity. The candidates will receive a thorough training in the manual work of stage-lighting, such as building bunch...
...over academic Cambridge, recourse must often be had to artificial light for the class-room. The objections to the lighting system of Sever, where perhaps more classes meet than in any other building, and that in use in Harvard 5, are perennial but urgent. The illumination is at best poor, and the gas given off by the burning jets is so oppressive that the tendency is to labor entirely in the gloom rather than endure the odor.

The fact that less than four per cent of the College entered the recent Winter Track Carnival shows where the fault lies. When but two men enter an event in a meet of this kind a decided lack of support is the only cause...
...Harvard idler the right to criticise the poor showing made by the University track team when he has done nothing himself to make it stronger? In fact, has he any moral right to celebrate a victory if he never contributes to that victory, unless he is engaged in some other activity? If the undergraduates who waste countless afternoons with useless amusements would give their time to conscientious work at Soldiers Field--the University track team would profit and would attain a greater measure of success...
...Sophomore relay team established its supremacy by defeating the Juniors in the final heat of the class races on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Considering the poor weather and the wet track good times were made in the 390-yard dash and the 910-yard run. N. L. Torrey '15 won the latter race with a lead of nearly ten yards, in 2 minutes, 15 2-5 seconds, with a handicap of 15 yards...
