...weighs 126 lb., has slim hard wrists and ankles, long spatulate hands. No one person is greatly responsible for her proficiency in heterogeneous sports. Her manager and coach, Melvin J.

I have heard it intimated in Oxford and Cambridge (England) combination rooms, and by professors in German and Scandinavian universities. Some Harvard alumni--notably Mr. John Jay Chapman--Have cried aloud that it is true. Now the CRIMSON assumes it and defends it--speaking for the Harvard undergraduates.
