In short, R.O.T.C. is felt to be somehow necessary, and the students...
Spengler led Harvard sweeps in the mile and two-mile runs, taking first easily in both. His times were 4:16 for the mile and 9:25.6 for the two-mile run, as he beat juniors John Heyburn and Kieth Colburn to the tape in the mile and Colburn and junior Erik Roth in the two-mile...
