...evenings to meetings of labor unions, social clubs, and church societies, and during the noon hours into the large factories and packing houses. These men will either speak for five minutes concerning the opportunities of the Union or distribute pamphlets and circulars which describe the Union's work in all its features. To carry out this campaign one hundred men will be needed...
This campaign affords an excellent opportunity for men to help in the "University extension" of which President Lowell has spoken. Men who are interested in public speaking will be given a chance for practical work with audiences which are without exception sympathetic and interested. Men studying social or factory conditions will be given a special field to which they may devote themselves. To all men, both graduates and undergraduates, the Prospect Union, which is a Harvard institution conducted by Harvard men, extends a cordial invitation to help in the work...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 21, 1909.--As the weather was excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke.

Hooper was shifted to 2, and Waite returned to stroke of the second four. The University four went exceedingly well, Sargent's work at stroke in this boat being of great value. In the afternoon the Freshman eight went over the two-mile course up-stream. No time was taken. A low stroke was maintained, except for occasional short spurts. The boat went fairly well, but the men were inclined to lose...
