After thus showing that Harvard has an undoubted, strong patriotism and a real sense of her duty to the country, Dean Briggs turned to the question of real moment to the University at present, and asked of the undergraduates, "What is your job now?" Men must first realize their actual duty, where they are needed most, and then act accordingly. He warned against hasty action, and advised sane consideration of the issues of the problem such as the actual need of volunteers and the advisability of taking untrained men for the tasks of soldiery from their work which will result...
...Freshmen, with only 3 points, took last place. The most exciting race of the afternoon was the two-mile run, in which R. St. B. Boyd '14 and F. H. Blackman '14 ran a "dual" race, the former winning by inches over the latter, who in turn was about '75 or 100 yards ahead of C. Southworth '15, the next man. In the 440-yard dash W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, ran a beautiful race, securing a small lead at the start which he gradually increased, finishing up with a strong sprint at the finish about six yards ahead...

Thus far only 425 men have sent in "lives," while the number of requests sent out was 640. The men have been even more remiss in returning the pledges, as only 263 have been received. The class secretary and treasurer have a great deal of work to do, and it will greatly aid them if all Seniors will attend to these matters without delay...
...candid words in which Mrs. Andrew W. White last year condemned "the neglect of the great body of women to study or practice economy, or to teach it to their daughters." The follies and crimes of men having of late been amply exposed, it now appears to be the turn of their better halves. Mr. Brock,--like Mr. Eugene Walters in "Fine Feathers," recently performed in Boston,--writes the tragedy of a wife's prodigality and deceitfulness. But Mr. Brock has excelled the professional author, who could not resist the temptation of ruining a good subject by melodramatic treatment...
