Three of Harvard's famed athletic trophies have been loaned by the H. A. A. to be placed on exhibit at the New York World's Fair this summer. The trophies are the Adams Cup, the West Point Trophy, and the Wendell Baker Shoe.
The Adams Cup is competed for annually by the Varsity crews of Navy, Pennsylvania, and Harvard, and is named in honor of Charles Francis Adams '88, former secretary of the Navy.
The Wendell Baker Shoe was worn by Wendell Baker '86 in a race in which he smashed the existing world's record in the quarter mile, though his shoe broke and came off his foot 155 yards from the finish. The famous shoe, which was mounted in gold several years ago, has never been untied since the day of the race.
