"Reading Period"

As a by-product of comprehensive examinations, many students got in a somewhat modified and restricted form a thing which the undergraduate press has been howling for these many semesters past, a "reading period." With the removal of seniors from class-work a week before the close of the semester, classes in which there were seniors had a week in which advance work was not possible, and which was devoted in various ways to organized or individual review. The writer believes that this opportunity was generally seized with gratitude and utilized to some purpose. The administration has been very reluctant about granting a reading period without restrictions, foreseeing an exultant exodus to Montreal and other whoopee centers. Perhaps this development will pave the way to some satisfactory solution of the problem.

Last year saw a marked increase in intramural interest. Every afternoon of the outdoor season found the campus green and other available arenas alive with hilarious athletic effort. And the indoor season transplanted the sport to the gym. Out of the studied nonchalance of the blase college pose there have grown up pleasant rivalries, and athletics, for the pure fun that is in them, have once more found their place in college.

The three-foot silver cup for the interfraternity matches was awarded to Phi Kappa Psi which won with a grand total of 157 points. Sigma Phi Epsilon ran second with points.

The dormitory title was won by Gile with 74 points. Sanborn was the runner-up with 64.

The baseball cup was earned by Sigma Phi Epsilon, which defeated Phi Delta Theta in a close game by the score of 14-10. The Chi Phi fraternity won the golf crown after having beaten the Phi Gamma Delta representatives five up in a 36-hole match.

In the interfraternity handball tournament, the Kappa Kappa Kappa team defeated the Delta Tau Delta team 21-12 and 21-5, to win the interfraternity championship.

Sigma Phi Epsilon and Wheeler Hall won the interfraternity and interdormitory tournaments in basketball, and the Kappa Kappa Kappa relay team outran Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta in the finals of the half-mile relay.
