...sincerest faith in Captain Morgan as a courageous and able leader. Through no fault of his own, Captain Morgan is the victim of a long-continued system that has now reached its climax. And there seems to be no friction between the present coach and the captain; they say that they can foresee no cause whatever for conflict between themselves. It is in order to bring about a final definition of Harvard's crew policy, in order to remove from every captain the chagrin of adverse criticism, and in order to put responsibility where it belongs--on the coach--that...

But with only one or two exceptions besides these just noted, this number of the Advocate is correct in both fact and expression. One thing, then, the present board of editors...
...meetings of the Conference, the first at the service in Appleton Chapel at 11 o'clock, when President Fitch will preach, and the second in Andover Chapel at 2.30 o'clock when Professor W. E. Hocking '01 will talk on "What the Philosophy of Today has to say about the Church." Dr. Fitch will also speak on "Religious Leadership in America after...
