- Harvard, but neither are they particu-
larly admired. For 800 years, the university
has encouraged its students to put matters
Of the intellect above all else. Although
most Harvard students know who the cap
tain Of the football team is, few would do
anything to make him feel special.
One of the few Offices at Harvard that
does carry any prestige is that Of managing
editor of the Crimson, perhaps the best
known college newspaper in the country.
This years managing editor is Richard B.
Ruge, a reflective, selEeffacing young man
of 20, whose father is assistant headmaster
of St Albans School here. The family lives
at 4626 Asbury place NV.
Mr. Ruge pronounced Rugah) is charged
with planning stories to amuse and inform
the $500 paid subscribers of the Crimson,
then seeing that they are written and printed
and that the paper is delivered on Cam
bridge doorstepS before breakfast every day
but Sunday. He has staff Of 20 reporters
Running the Crimson takes IS to 20
hours a week of Mr.. Ruge's time, and his
grades show it. They dropped from rare
straight-A average in his freshman year to
Bs and Cs last term. Without twoweek
reading period before exams, they might
have been worse. Mr. Ruge believes the law
schools he plans to apply to next year will
realize what happened.
The main thing is, it's just lot of fun"
he says. The Crimson is not only news
paper. It's an organization"
One could add that the Crimson is more
than an organization; it's an institution.
Since 1873 the Crimson has been printing
news of Harvard and the world as it affects
Harvard, and jealousy guarding its free
dom to say what it pleases.
The Crimson owns its building and
press, and can get out an edition in as little
as two hours and fifteen minutes. The
paper, with budget last year of Sis, 600,
even runs in the black It has made profit
Of as much as $4,000 in the past, but half
Of this is turned back into improvements.
The other half is split among the staff.
An outstanding trait of the Crimson is
its iconoclasm. It is an avid defender of
what it considers the best interests of Har-
ward, but dislikes social clubs, the Harvard
Student Agencies (Which handles practic-
ally all student employment and Yale stu
dents. It delights in exposing blunders and
foibles that few other college newspapers
would question.
A lead story recently reported that the
Freshman Jubilee "a Spring dance) had lost
81, 400. which would have to be reimbursed
by the Freshman Dean The paper went
after the Freshman Council as if it were
Billie Sol Estes. In the same issue, the an
nouncement of the IS top Juniors named as
ushers at graduation, which would have
been the lead in another newspaper, was
pushed to the lower left corner.

WRECK OF THE BRITISH
STEAMSHIP KIMBERLEY

The British steamship Kimber-
~. Of Port Glasgow, Scotland, from
New Orleans, Louisiana, bound to
Liverpool, England, by way of Nor
folk, Virginia, with a freight valued
at half a million dollars, consisting
Of corn, wheat and cotton, stranded
at a quarter past II o'clock at
night, three fourths of a mile S.
S-East of Wash Woods Station,
(Sixth District), coast Of North
Carolina, December l, 1887.
She was discovered Immediately
by the station patrol, who speedily
notified the keeper. There were at
the time strong northeast winds
and a high surf, making it impos-
sible to use the boat. The life-sav-
ing crew therefore took the beach
apparatus to a point abreast of the
vessel, arriving at midnight. They
Tired the Lyle gun repeatedly, but
the vessel was more than quar-
ter Of a mile from the beach; the
projectile invariably fell short.
The keepers and men of the
neighboring False Cape and Curri-
tuck Inlet Stations, who had been
informed by telephone Of the af-
fair, reached the place ready for
service, shortly after I o'clock
(moxning Of the 2nd). However, no.
thing further, beyond displaying an
occasional signal could be done UNI
til daybreak, at which time the fir
ing was resumed but without sue
cess. They signaled to the people
on board that it would be necessary
to wait for ebb tide, but a portion
Of the vessels own crew soon set

out to land in their own boat. The
surf was so high, however, that
they gave up the attempt and went
back on board. On the flood tide
the vessel had worked in somewhat
nearer to the beach, hut she was
still out of range, as several futile
shots from the Lyle gun proved.
At low water the lifesavers were
enabled to gain few yards to-
ward the vessel, and a shot at this
time struck her side. At the next
trial the projectile fell on deck
and the whip-line and hawser were
sent off. About an hour before
noon the work of landing began
and twenty-four of the men were
taken ashore, the breeches-buoy
making twenty trips. The other
seven members of the crew per-
ferred to remain on board. The gear
was left set up, maintaining COM
munication with the vessel in case
of emergency. The life-saving
crews returned to their respective
stations about sunset, well-nigh ex-
hausted by their continued exer-
tons and by lack of food.
The rescued men went to the
Wash Wood Station, where those
who needed it received dry clothing
from the supply kept at the station
by the Women's National Relief As
ISOLATION. One man was very sick
and was expected to die, but he was
provided with medicines from the
station chest and after q time raj
lied and grew better. The following
day (3rd) the life-saving crew
landed the baggage belonging to
the seamen, and on the night of
the 4th the sick man and four
others left the station for Norfolk,
the British consul having made
provision for them.
Two days later (6th) five men
were landed from the steamer by
the breeches-buoy, leaving only the
the captain and chief officer on
board. There were now twenty
three of the steamers men at the
station. These remained until the
9th, when with the exception OF
three who went on board their YES
sci for duty, they We're transferred
to a steamer for conveyance to
Norfolk.
In meantime the vessel had
been placed in the hands of a
wrecking company who were at
work discharging her cargo. Many
delays were occasioned by storm,
and the vessel was not floated until
the 9th of January, 1888, at which
time she was lowed to Norfolk. The
damage to the vessel amounted to
about one-third her value. Two
thirds of the cargo was lost.
The station crew conveyed mes
sages and rendered assistance in
many ways throughout the time the
vessel was ashore. They subse-
ouently received several grateful
letters from different members OF
the crew of the Kimberley. The
following testimonial indicates the
esteem in which their services were
held:
steamship Kimberley, Norfolk, Va.
February %, 1888.
"Sir: We, the undersigned, beore
leaving Norfolk offer our sincere
thanks to you for the many atten-
tons shown us while on the beach
off your station, and to testify to

crew worked the life-saving appa-

the beams and the cramped
space, but it was better than
the baseball writer's section
which has plenty of space, but
not much else. So it was de-
cided the reporters would share
the lower level with the an
nouncers. If you think they're
having some disagreementS in
Berlin, you should have heard
this one.
Quesada, who is on our side
agrees the press boxes are sorry
ones, but he was anxious to
make the best of what there is
to offer. He was in the role
of peacemaker until somebody
suggested that a section of the
mezzanine boxes be converted
into a press box. The general
picturing the dollar bills al
ready in the till from the sale
of those choice season seats
would have no part of it.
After everybody had his say
without contributing anything
too constructive, it was decided
that the baseball writer's would
share the radio-TV section
But if Joe Burke, the assistant
general manager, finds that is
too impractical, he will move
the baseball writer's to their
designated press box.
* y *
The unbelievable part of the
whole business is how anybody
could have designated such
impractical and undesirable
press boxes? Somebody said the
architects visited all of the Ma
tons great stadiums and took
an idea from each. If so, they'd
better throw away that book
before they build another one.
But there were some bright
spots. There's a cozy writing
room for the baseball writer's
and spacious dining room
that has an ice box that's big
ger than dining quarters at
Griffith Stadium.
And maybe when the null
lions are knocked out and the
steel beams are covered and
the press boxes are dressed up a
bit, they'll be workable. And
there's no screen to look
through, as there was at Grit
fifth Stadium.
But there are going to be
squawks. From Kansas City,
L. A., Detroit and Boston, and
from Jimmy Piersalls pals in
Cleveland, the hammers will
be out.
