When a student in the University has by permission been absent from a section test or even from an hour examination, a card is sent to his instructors informing them that he has been officially excused. No distinction is made between absences caused by necessity such as illness, and those occasioned by other causes such as the extension of the vacation periods. All subsequent action is left to the discretion of the individual instructor...

Since there are virtually no experienced men in these two departments, any high performers in today's meet will receive serious consideration for regular positions on the track team during the winter and spring seasons...
Tennis has always been more than a test of skill. The personalities of its great men have often been of more interest than their actual ability. Many will remember the impetuosity of McLoughlin, the craftiness of Brooks, and the imperturbability of Washburn long after their style of play is forgotten. It would be well for these ruffled champions to remember this before they go any further towards damaging a sport which has been built up by so many years of line tradition...
