...given to the writer of the best work on his master the Czar. The Academy, therefore, now announces a prize competition for this bequest. Inasmuch as the original donation with its accretions will amount to $1,000,000 on the day for awarding the prize, it will be quite worth one's while to win it. The fact that the essay is to be written in Russian will not keep anybody from competing, for there will be plenty of time to learn that language before 1925, the year when the prize will be awarded. There is no reason whatever...
...notable fact that the four heaviest men have had no experience worth mentioning in boating, whereas those who have had the most experience are of lighter build. There is nothing in this fact, however, to indicate that the crew for this year will be light, as all the men will have sufficient opportunity for acquiring the necessary skill before the crew is chosen.

Indeed, so prevalent has the discussion become that it makes the whole matter of college annuals an important issue, and one worth treating in a public manner. In another column will be found one of the complaints. The writer's arguments in favor of illustrations and "grinds" have been answered in a previous number of the CRIMSON. Sufficient it is to say that the college is too large to indulge in personalities, and that the humorous artistic talent of the college has quite...
...always been a matter of surprise to us that the faculty has so completely ignored the existence of the college press. For years past the student papers of Harvard have been the medium through which student opinion has been made public. But apparently the authorities deem it not worth the trouble to give their opinions to the undergraduate world. We earnestly hope that this state of things may not continue in future, for we believe that many misunderstandings which have arisen in the past between students and their instructors might have been easily averted if the faculty had only seen...
