...Freshman issue of the Advocate W. I. Nichols '26 examines the student activities in Harvard. He notes that Graduate Boards are viewing with alarm the decrease in numbers of candidates reporting for various competitions, and cites the two causes to which the Graduate Boards attribute the decline of active interest in competitions; the pressure of studies, which is making "grinds" out of undergraduates, and the glowing attractions of Boston ball-rooms and beaches and bootleggers.

The Tradition Booklet helped show these men what opportunities and what heritage of tradition surrounds them. Twenty-five first year men were interviewed in obtaining this consensus of opinion...
...June Voyage this year, beginning shortly after Commencement, will last for approximately two weeks. Twenty-five Harvard students took the cruise last June on board the battleship Wyoming. Other student officers on the ship came from the Naval Reserve units at Yale, Georgia Tech, and Northwestern, most of the men taking the complete trip as far north as Halifax, N.
