...Athletic Committee will be glad to receive suggestions from the students of the University looking towards a greater use of the Locker Building on Soldiers Field. At present, the upper half is not much used even during the football season and the whole building is insufficiently heated for cold weather. It is proposed to take the steam heat for the baseball cage from a new boiler placed in the Locker Building, at the same time to increase materially the heating system of the latter. The lower part of the building can be rearranged and the upper part fitted...
Twenty-nine speakers was a disappointingly small number from so large and prosperous a club, considering that last year's Freshman club, though much smaller, produced fifty two speakers at its first trial.

The new ray, however, could probably not be used...
...presentation of Harvard, and the convincing earnestness of Yale. In the rebuttals all these qualities were present and in addition to them a marvellous quickness in grasping and refuting arguments, together with a very unusual power of summing up, and of making the line of reasoning a compact whole. So evenly matched were the teams that it is impossible to pick out the best characteristics of the debate without crediting them to both sides alike. Harvard, however, can be separately praised for her perfect stage presence, self-command and form of delivery. In these respects she excelled Yale...
