...success of the project and the enthusiasm with which it has been hailed is due in large part to the good offices of Frank Ryan, newly appointed publicity director of the H. A. A. Mr. Ryan has been exceedingly careful in all his preparations and is even now experimenting with various devices for the improvement of the announcing facilities in the box. His hearty good nature and warm cordiality have made dealings between the papers and the A. A. a real pleasure, and everybody who is interested in receiving the Harvard athletic news promptly, accurately, and completely owes...
