Neither Southard nor Arensberg, who composed last year's winning team, has come out this year. The absence of Southard makes the tournament closer and more interesting than it has been for several years. His playing was far above the average, as is shown by the fact that he won twenty-two games in succession for Harvard. Catchings, the president of the Chess Club, was substitute on the team last year and also played in the international match. Perry, who won the fall tournament, played on the Worcester Academy team last year, and has made a good showing against prominent...

One of the first steps taken by President Hadley was to bring about such a change that all departments might profit equally, and, at the same time, a great deal of the wear and tear of management be avoided. During the past week the plans for this have been...
