An article on the Yale Club, an institution corresponding to our Thayer Club, has the following: "This institution is now run on the hotel plan, and quite a varied bill of fare is furnished every day.

When the spring comes, the trainer might take them on the river, going himself as coxswain, and assign to them their...
