...schooling who, on account of personal fitness, are far more suitable for commissions. That he is right in his assertion that "a college man, because he is a college man, is not thereby given a divine right to become an officer," is undeniable. Naturally all men of any certain type of education can not become first class or even second rate officers, any more than all the undergraduates of a university such as this, may be expected to become engineers of high quality...
...almost weep at the puerility of the editorial writer who made the magnificent suggestion as to the distribution of debating medals in yesterday morning's CRIMSON. We had hitherto labored under the impression that the columns of the CRIMSON were not open to attempts at parody of the same type as the red and yellow leaflets recently distributed as samples of undergraduate literary genius.

Beyond the Locker Room at Newell these races may be regarded as wasted energy. More gifted roommates may have found it difficult to understand the "training" for such events. But to the man with the sweep the crowds on Harvard Bridge will be there to see his race, even though railway construction in reality accounts for the uninterested onlookers...
