...Second University hockey team went through a successful season, winning three out of its four games. Although there were eight games scheduled, poor ice and lack of proper conditions prevented four of them being played. The first game with Middlesex School, played at Concord, was won by the second team, 7 to 2. Stone School was beaten in the Stadium by a score of 14 to 0, the seconds encountering little opposition. The game with the Boston College second team was also won by the second team, 6 to 0. In the last game, St. Paul's School of Concord...

Chapter III depicts the enormous difficulties in the way of raising and supplying a volunteer army of the size we should need today, were we called...
From these facts, it is hard to see how the proposed pool could be objected to on grounds of health. It is significant that Dr. Lee and Dr. Bailey approve of its installation, provided proper sanitary precautions are taken. It seems impossible for the University to have a new gymnasium. But cannot this pool, so badly needed and perfectly feasible, be granted to Harvard students...
