...Miller '27 and T. G. Moore '29 were the only Crimson stars who lived up to expectations. Miller took first in his heat in the 100, while Moore tossed the Javelin 190 feet 5 1-2 inches to earn the right to compete in today's final test of strength in the event. Miller also fought his way to the semifinals this afternoon in the furlong. The other Harvard runners who came through the first day of the battling were J. S. Malick '27 in the 440 and R. P.

...precludes the possibility of a change, it would seem a very difficult matter to decide whether or no a moderate interest in things intellectual might not be developed into a genuine appreciation, or, on the other hand, a seemingly scholarly bent may be only transient. If Dr. Faunce's test could ever be satisfactorily applied it would certainly go a long way toward solving a problem, but it would seem, at first sight, to be more useful as a recapitulatory for a college graduate than as an index for an entrant. Where the latter could profit by it, only...
