...suggestion that Holmes Field be flooded has been heard many times by the writer; is there any sufficient reason why the suggestion should not be acted upon? Two reasons why it has not been done in the past have been quoted, viz., fear of injury to the grass and to the cinder track. If it is possible for harm to be done to either of these by ice, the conditions which usually prevail on Holmes Field during the winter are the worst possible and the addition of six inches of water, enough to cover the field, would dimiinish rather than...

We have here at Harvard adopted the classic cap and gown as an appropriate garb for the graduating class. It is, then, only consistent to include the etiquette which governs its use in those institutions where it owes its origin. The custom here is so new that we need not feel bound to continue in the lines followed by other classes. A simple word of direction from the Class Day Committee will...
