Until the completion of the Hemenway Gymnasium, the College would seem to be in a sorry plight as far as bathing facilities are concerned. In most of the dormitories there are no baths at all, and in none of them are there baths to spare: there must be hundreds of students who will find that passion for cleanliness, which seems characteristic of the Harvard undergraduate, ungratified. It does not seem quite fair that the College should bring students here and then leave them without the means to an end so important that it has been next to godliness...
...English style and that the turf is not so fast as the made path. L. E. Pilkington, the Cambridge representative for the double event, is short and heavy, not unlike Shaw of the London team, in build, and is speedy for the first five hurdles, but does not seem capable of holding the burst to the finish. With him will be W. M. Fletcher, who stands over six feet, and is broad-shouldered rather than heavy. He is slower than Pilkigton and they bear about the same speed relation as do Cady and Hatch, who will be offered as their...
...colleges last year and the differing rules which each has adopted, it is evident that the matter of arranging a game is one which requires considerable delicacy in the handling. Any official information on the subject is hardly to be expected until matters have advanced more than they seem to have done thus far. Should Yale fail to come forward with a challenge for a football game, there will be no intercollegiate contests of any kind this year between Harvard and Yale. This restriction will extend to the freshman games...
...meeting of Harvard and Yale against Oxford and Cambridge was at first sight very pleasing. It would be so still were it not that consideration of the challenge just received leads to the feeling that Harvard can hardly accept it without a breach of collegiate courtesy. The English colleges seem to have made no attempt to obviate the difficulties in the way of accepting the intercollegiate challenge sent them, but to have refused this without due reluctance, and to have made an entirely arbitrary selection of Harvard and Yale. In so doing they are guilty of a slight...
...precautions taken by the Class Day Committee concerning the sale of tickets to the exercises on Class Day, are reasonable and just. It may seem to some men that there is a needless amount of red tape in the disposal of tickets. Yet every bit of this seemingly needless form is absolutely necessary if the sale of these tickets is to be conducted with fairness, and Class Day is to be made a success. In spite of the precautions which former committees have taken in keeping track of the tickets that are given out, a great deal of trouble...
