...completion of the work on the building, and it will probably be fully six months before it will be ready for occupancy. When it is completed, the structure will have cost about $30,000, making it by far the most expensive society hall connected with the university. It will differ from all the others in that it provides a home for its members. The other society buildings simply furnish a place where weekly meetings may be held, and with the exception of the "Wolf's Head," which is a comfortable loafing spot, the majority of the college society buildings furnish...
...sliding seat equalizes the men in the boat who differ one from the other in length of trunk and limbs, permitting a man with a short reach to slide a little further than another with long arms, so to catch the water at the same angle and pull through a stroke of the same length. Without the slide no amount of rowing together would equalize the stroke; the short man would have to catch later or finish later than the long man, the result of which is, of course, unsteadiness in the boat and diminution of speed; for racing craft...

It is easy to see that an instructor might find several examination books (say, for example, four) the difference in worth between any two of which might not exceed one per cent., yet of which the best clearly belonged in class a, the worst in class b. He must then decide into which class to put the two intermediate books. Whether he puts both in a, both in b, or one in each of these classes, he has to make a distinction quite as fine as any under the old system. The result...
...Faculty Committee will be chosen on Friday at their regular meeting. The real plan of working has not been revealed as yet, but from accounts heard, while in a sense being suggested by the Amherst and Harvard committees, the internal organization of the respective committees will materially differ...
