Born at Harvard last spring and already increased in stature, the Undergraduate Faculty has now turned in a significant direction. Rather than living a solitary life in the Harvard Yard, the plan has found within itself the seeds of growth and dissemination. It was first adopted by Manhattanville College. Just recently Radcliffe and Brown planted the first seeds on their campuses. More than the ideal of service is embodied in this rapid maturity. Its importance in the college curriculum is due to two factors: the opportunity for students to participate in an educational experiment, and even more, to coordinate their...
Lutz's battery mate, Bob Gorham, was another reason for the success of the Adams nine. Catching was a rather weak department in House ball this spring, and Gorham stands head and shoulders above his circuit rivals. For Lowell, it was a smooth working infield and a good deal of batting punch which was instrumental in winning the title and the right to journey to New Haven tomorrow to play the Eli standard bearer...

...Stahlmen to carry off the League title as a final effort of Lupien, Grondahl, Johns, Gannett and the other Seniors who are ending Harvard baseball careers this June. The Crimson would feel confident of victory tomorrow were it not for the fact that Tom Healey has been treated rather roughly in his last two starts. The Ithacans shelled him off the mound three weeks ago but on that occasion he was attempting to twirl his second game in as many days. This time he will be fully rested. In addition, Slim Curtiss has turned in several neat performances...
