...deplorably small number of men reported for the Eliot and Thayer Club crews yesterday. Two crews only were able to be made up, and went out on the river to receive their first instruction from Coach Brown. The showing was much worse than either that of this spring or last fall. It is obvious that many men who should come out are not doing so, and the management is very anxious to see more men tomorrow, when they are to report at 4.30 o'clock. The lack of coxswains is especially in evidence. More men are needed for this position...
...entry list for the Harvard Invitation Regatta has been deprecatingly small in view of the fact that the number of men who have signed the books is insufficient to meet the entry needs of a regatta which shall deserve continuation in further years under the name of the Harvard Invitation Regatta. For this reason the blue-books in which entries are to be made are to be left open through the end of this week. It is apparent that many men have been undecided as to what races to enter and it behooves those men to decide immediately and sign...
...more lasting peace. The afternoons will be devoted to out-of-door sports, particularly favorable opportunities being afforded for tennis, canoeing, sailing, and short walking trips to such nearby places of interest as Tanghannock Falls and the George Junior Republic. In the evenings there will be lectures and small group discussions on such definite problems as Pan-American relations, the Hague conferences, American-Japanese relations, the neutralization of the seas, and other topics on the means of enforcing international obligations. Special conferences will be held on effective methods of creating and educating public opinion...
...table and chair. The stacks are ventilate in a simple and economical manner by means of plenum fans forcing fresh air into the basement and exhaust fans drawing the partially vitiated air from the top. A striking innovation is found in the provision of a large number of small study rooms about 12 feet by 15 feet for the private use of professors and others. The upper floor contains fourteen studies, nineteen rooms to be used for special libraries and seminars, a photographing room, and the Library's collection of maps and manuscripts. Telephones, pneumatic tubes, book lifts, and passenger...
What results? The undergraduate is often sadly neglected. The assistant not only has his chief interest elsewhere, but he has usually too many sections, and his remuneration is too small to encourage his spending much time upon them. He becomes a more or less perfunctory marker of papers. The professor is interested in the assistant and his other graduate students; and the assistant is interested in the professor. Meanwhile the undergraduate is forgotten. The University is regarded as a "society of scholars," not as an institution for the education of American youth...
