...poor policy to sing at football games, the present undergraduates at Harvard are free from criticism. This year, as for several years past, the question of singing has been left until the very week of one of the most important games. We do not wish to enter into a discussion of whether or not singing is a good thing, but we do wish to point out the very apparent fact that unless something is done very soon, the Harvard singing at the Princeton game will be a dismal failure. If the experience of former years justifies prophecy, several mass meetings...
Exeter started play with a poor kickoff to Harvard's 45-yard line. Here the 1916 team at once showed its strength by advancing the ball in fifteen, straight plays to the 10-yard line. Exeter, however, braced and the ball was lost on downs. Exeter then made the longest run of the game, 40 yards, but lost the ball on a fumble in the next play. Harvard again started on a steady advance on the Exeter goal but two long penalties for holding and the throwing of Mahan for a loss of five yards ended the period without further...
...University second team defeated the Brown second team on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by the score of 3 to 0. Temple scored the goal from a difficult angle.

The most striking feature of the game was the speed of the Brown backfield. For Harvard Atkinson, Parker...
...proportion of exceptional students which it contains. The number of honor men who enter the Law School has shown but little variation, either absolutely or in relation to the total number of Harvard men. Of the Harvard representatives in last year's class, who made such a poor showing both in graduation honors and in the Review elections, eighteen, or 30 per cent., had taken their college degrees with distinction; while of the Harvard men in the class of 1909, who took 41 per cent. of the LL.B.'s cum laude and had seven of their number...
...poor showing of most of the inexperienced candidates for the two assistant managerships of the Harvard Register indicates that only men of exceptional grit or of previous advertising experience can stand the test. Men in all departments of the University who have either of the above qualifications are urged to report. Each man is paid for the work done whether he is successful in the competition or not. The candidate selected as first assistant manager will in all probability be elected manager for next year. The competition lasts for five weeks, closing November 23. Candidates should plan to give...
