...Yesterday 106 candidates reported for the 1923 crews at the meeting held in the Weld Boat House. This large turnout exceeds by 50 the number of Freshman crew-men who started the rowing season last spring. This large number is extremely gratifying and should contain promising material. It should not discourage, however, other men from reporting. Coach Haines, University Crew Captain Wendell Davis '21, Dr. Paul Withington '10, a former oarsman, and Manager Amory Houghton '21, briefly spoke to the men relative to the plans for the season and to the organization of the crews...

Each question, or puzzle, or test--and there were hundreds of them given each person--had to be finished by the second hand and the candidate...
Columbia opened yesterday with a registration of 8208 students, the largest in its history. Scores of applications were still being received yesterday, and the final registration figures probably will not be compiled for several days.
