...commodities that are of value in undergraduate life. This group might be called that of the "tired college boy." It is an unfortunate fact that in the spirit of restlessness that prevails in this community, many of these "t. c. b."'s lose sight of the educational advantages that surround them; they become business men, tired business men, even before they are out of college. They are paving their way to worldly success, but are they preparing for a life that will be of value of them and to the community in which they live after graduation? Harvard prides itself...

The lives of these 3,500,000 undernourished children now depend upon America until the next harvest. We can save them or we can let them die.

Harvard University, whose tradition is to strive fiercely toward eminence in athletics, has installed a new director of outdoor sports, Dr. Charles Whelan, who proposes to surround his track team, in their track room at Soldiers Field, with photographs of star Yale and Princeton athletes of the past, alongside photographs of former Harvard captains. An elaborate motion picture equipment has been provided for use in the field, to show contrasting achievements of various teams and individuals. Three mirrors are to be bought, one set upon rollers and used at practice to show "form" and another anchored at a certain spot...
