Rich Opportunities Await Ambitious, Alert Lensmen in Crimson Competition

Have you ever snooped with a camera? Have you ever lain in wait for a famous fellow to make a fool of himself? Have you ever sneaked away with your camera under your coat felling sure that you have taken the one picture in millions that shows a true expression? Unusual pictures will be more and more in demand in the future, and the college is rich ground where they wait for an ogle-eyed photographer to find them.

No Experience Necessary

This next CRIMSON, photographic competition will be primarily for men with a certain amount of previous experience, though there is no reason why someone who is anxious to learn photography from the ground up, and who is willing to work, cannot make the board. In fact, CRIMSON competition is the only way open in the University, and on the whole, one of the best ways, to learn the fundamentals of photography.

Press Box Passes

There is a good deal of thrill to having one's pictures published, and more pictures will be printed in the CRIMSON in the next few months than at any other time since the depression set in. Candidates will be given as assignments the pictures that are really needed and hence their pictures will be the first to come out in print. These assignments include among others, the taking of football pictures from the press-box every Saturday, and football individual pictures in the holy practice enclosure.

Opportunity for Originality

Such individual portraits give an opportunity for the photographer to show his originality and numerous assignments of views in and about the Yard will let him demonstrate the full measure of his artistic point of view.

A Thousand Pictures

The picturesque brilliance of the Tercentenary celebration has aroused a burst of energy in the CRIMSON photographic Board that will take long to shake. The unusual pictorial opportunities led to an immensely increased output of photographic material. Something upwards of a thousand pictures were taken in the course of the festivities and the excess initiative will force towards a return to the days when a CRIMSON pictorial was a weekly feature of the paper. The present board is all set to forge on and the advent of fresh ideas and new photographic techniques can only hasten the rise of the pictorial and of the CRIMSON and accrue to the benefit of all concerned.
