...Office, Ticket Office, New London; and Leavitt & Peirce's. Tickets for the observation trains for the University race have already been sold by application to the H. A. A. These trains will leave New London at 3.45 o'clock, for the starting point at the bridge, and will follow along the east banks of the Thames where an unobstructed view of the race...
...Along with the broadness and the play of individual faculties which the varied interests and activities of a large University such as Harvard affords, there come some drawbacks; and perhaps there is none more serious than the limited amount of reading which most men do.

...strife, the School has grown steadily until it now occupies an excellent group of buildings supplied free of rent by the Chinese Red Cross Society. The unsettled condition of the country at the time of the founding proved to be a decided advantage instead of a hindrance as, along with the readjustment of government, there was a widespread awakening on the part of the Chinese to the necessity of hygienic regeneration, and it was this function that the school had come to fill...
