...that in these exciting times there should be the undercurrent of military spirit which appears in the Illustrated's pages. No one will deny that it makes good filler. But it is a "Crew" number, without doubt, a moderately good one, but not on a par with their "Auto Show" number...
...Champ '19 would certainly give the impression of being an earnest worker for the Illustrated. As in the "Auto Show" number, he has contributed two articles--both unusually interesting and calling for no small degree of of research. In the first, "Harvard Racing Shells," he traces the development of the shell from 1846, when the first Harvard crew rowed in the clumsy lap-streak barge "Oneida," to the efficient shells of today--those which lower records, on the Thames at New London.

A mere glance at the Faculty will show how impossible it will be for many members to have their names in the front-page write-ups. Professors Baker, Post, Chase, Ropes, Lake, Graves, and Ford, for example, will have to be satisfied with temporary obscurity. What if the commissary officer should see Professor Frankfurter mentioned...
