...Harvard--as is the case in all American colleges--there is little real stimulus for high intellectual achievement. A Phi Beta Kappa key is the only incentive, and, in general, this is accessible only to men with an unusual ability for cataloging and remembering facts. The student who lacks enthusiasm for Phi Beta Kappa turns his attention to some college activity other than scholarship where he is stimulated by what he feels to be real competition. These activities, although they offer valuable experience, are not--can never be, a substitute for scholastic work...
Today's is game should mark the real beginning of the baseball season for the University team. There games have been played, but it is universally recognized that the results have been unworthy of the material and the coaching. The poor showing, however, has not been due to lack of effort, but rather to lack of individual and collective aggressiveness. No one has been guilty of indifference, but almost the whole nine has failed to show the spirit of a winning organization. The near-informal team of last spring, although painfully weak in ability and defeated all but once, played...
...follows: Sophomores, 41 1-3; Juniors, 29 1-3; Seniors, 26; Freshmen, 20 1-3. Because of the informality of the meet, many men did not enter events in which they undoubtedly could have placed, and the points won by individuals are not truly indicative of the real ability of the members of each class.

Under the present system there is no close relationship between instructor and student. A distinct advance could be made by extending the tutorial system now employed in the Division of History, Government and Economics to other departments. But this system should be made for more real and vital; it should be an essential part of the college course, rather than a forgotten fortnightly chore. This would enable the student to come into closer contact with the teacher, who could discuss with him subjects of immediate interest and link them up with his academic work. The tutor could also suggest...
...other reason for the old major sport situation has not yet been entirely removed, nor is it as easy to cope with as the first. It is none other than that old bogy, the apathy of many college men toward athletics, and a non-realization of the real and permanent good to be obtained from any form of physical sport steadily pursued. The situation in this regard is much better than formerly, but there is still much room for further improvement. That by far the greatest interest in sports is taken this year by Freshmen is a good sign...
