...through the medium of the Graduate Advisory Committees; and Harvard can attribute much to her recent athletic awakening of the energy of the men who make up these committees.

What the cricket team needs for success, however, is not harder training, but more men. The numbr of candidates now under Captain Garrett is comparatively small. It needs only an awakened interest in the college at large to swell this number, and to make...
