...fourteenth annual relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania was held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, last Saturday. Some very fine performances were made and two records broken. Captain W. R. Dray of Yale established a new world's record of 12 feet, 6 1-2 inches in the pole-vault, an inch better than his previous world's record made in the Harvard-Yale dual meet at New Haven last year. The University of Michigan won the two-mile relay championship in 8 minutes, 4 2-5 seconds, a new collegiate record...
...pole-vault will undoubtedly go to Captain W. Dray '08 of Yale, holder of the world's record. Second and third places also look promising for Yale with A. C. Gilbert '08, Campbell '09, and E.

The American soldier, standing as the does for self-sacrificing devotion to the republic, is a good example of the attitude that should be taken in public life. It is work, after all, hard, continuous work, that makes public men great...
There is a greater opportunity, the Senator concluded, in this republic and at this time for young men in public life than ever before in the world's history. There is so much to be done, so many strong, clean, trained hands needed to do it. But it must be remembered that present day public life means sacrifice and it is battle from beginning to end. Each victory means a contest farther on, but after all there is no effort so much worth while as for this national republic of free and righteous...
