Ample arrangements exist for lodging a large attendance at the school, not-withstanding the expected presence of the fourteen hundred Cuban teachers in Cambridge this summer. Sever Hall and Sanders Theatre will be used entirely by the Cubans as lecture rooms, and for the first time a number of Summer School courses will be given in the lecture rooms of Radcliffe College and the Law School...
...Hirsch of Chicago delivered a sermon last night in Appleton Chapel on "The Need of Man for Religion and the Spiritual Life." Dr. Hirsch said, in part, that the ancient Hebrewa were deeply stirred by the phenomena of nature which they saw about them.

But it amounted to nothing, for the only people who took any interest were those rowing in the graded crews, which were practically Varsity trial eights, and outside of these there was nothing. After the University crew squad was selected the club practically ceased to exist, and in the pleasantest period of the year there was no rowing at all at the club. It then became evident to every one that the scheme had proved to be a complete failure...
