...previous years the finish line has not been set at right angles to the course, thus giving the crew rowing on the Boston side an advantage. The length has been variously estimated between one and three-quarters and one and seven-eighths miles. For this reason the time taken during trials by the crews has been so inaccurate that it has been impossible to judge their speed as compared with outside crews. To avoid possible mistakes in the future, an accurate survey has been found necessary...
...recently appeared the climax of feeble-minded absurdity, entitled "The Harvard Low-Life." We have omitted mention of this latest output till now for the reason that not until yesterday was it seen on sale in one of the most conspicuous newstands of Boston. "The Harvard Low-Life"--a title which alone is disgraceful--is the most mercenary scheme of this sort that has yet seen the light. The advertisements are filled in with "news" and "jokes" which are puerile, cheap, and asinine. The paper is without justification of any kind...
...Hopkins and the Naval Academy. After the vacation the second team will be called out. The second team has a schedule of its own, playing several games with school, freshman, and college second teams. Those who fail to make either the first or second teams or for any other reason do not play on these teams, can enter the Leiter Cup series which will start immediately after the vacation and will last until the end of May. The rules and purpose of the Leiter Cup series will be printed in a future issue of the CRIMSON and blue-books...
...primary reason for this apparent disregard for College affairs and activities by Seniors is the widespread desire "to have as much fun" as possible during the last year of student life. Such an attitude is not surprising. The average Senior feels that he is to start his real career after graduation, and that then he will have to work and work hard. Many Seniors have been energetic during their first years in College. They have made their friends and their place in the class. They regard life very much as does a middle aged business man, who after having achieved...
This attitude, which arises from the fact that to the undergraduate mind the very real connection which exists between College and life work is obscure, has unfortunate results. Seniors by reason of longer experience are of more value to various College organizations than are underclassmen. Also, this "faineant" attitude of Seniors and the habits that inevitably accompany it render more difficult and more irksome the transition to the life of real work which for most of us will follow graduation. To obtain all the enjoyment possible out of College is laudable, but it is unfortunate that this desire should result...
