They are primed to make this year's tests a very special set. They will try to concoct something relatively new for Harvard, tutoring-proof examinations and a tutoring-proof system of grading. Of course, they won't succeed entirely--but the ingenuity of a dozen or so Harvard professors should not be under-rated.

...Whether it was black cats, walking under ladders, or a shattered mirror that jinxed the Crimson track forces at New Haven Saturday, or whether Jaakko's operatives were just having an off day will never be known. But in the most brilliantly contested Heptagonal meet since its inception five years ago, favored Harvard went down to defeat to Cornell by a slim half point...
