...geodetic course, the instruction in railroad surveying was begun and carried on through the remaining four weeks of the period in camp. The ground was divided up among three imaginary railroads and a company of men assigned to each. For each party a captain was appointed who assumed the responsibility for the instruments used in the day's work, and who made daily reports of the progress of his section. Each railroad or section was assigned two miles of country for its track. This was first surveyed and the field notes marked on a map. After estimating the cost...
...innings, weakened again and was relieved by Kernan in the sixth. Kernan was still less successful, al owing seven hits and giving seven bases on balls in two innings. MacDonald allowed but one hit in each of the last two innings. The out-fielders were very weak in covering ground, and Devens and Stillman each muffed a fly. In the infield Coolidge and Fincke played well, but Clark made several mistakes in judgment, which were as bad as errors. For Yale Quinby played the best game, accepting eight chances at second without an error and hitting safely four times. Cook...
Reid, Fincke and Clarke are playing as well as they did last season, and, with this year's experience, should prove somewhat steadier. Kendall is a reliable man on first base, but he does not cover enough ground and his batting is not strong. Coolidge, at shortstop, is a brilliant player and covers a great deal of ground, but is not sure. Wendell covers his territory well, is strong in throwing to the infield, and leads the team in batting. Devens and George have shown great improvement lately and may be relied upon to do good work this afternoon. Stillman...

He covers a great deal of ground and is one of the strongest batters on the team. Barnwell is a good fielder, but Sullivan in right field is not satisfactory. Hirsh is a new man, but is catching a much steadier game than Cunha and throwing to second more accurately than Sullivan. Robertson is a very able pitcher, but is likely to weaken towards the end of a game...
...west for the use of students. On the lower floor, an exhibition hall, 52 feet long and 32 feet wide, is to be devoted to a valuable collection of Greek, Roman, and Renaissance casts. This hall will extend upward through two stories. In the rear of the ground floor there will be a corridor, separated from the exhibition hall by Doric columns supporting the corridor of the upper floor, on which is a similar series of Ionic columns. A large lecture room, a stereopticon gallery, a smaller lecture room, a room for the display of working models and building materials...
