The base dimensions of the building will be 177 feet in length by 75 in width, while 50 feet is the height from the ground to the top cornice, above which the roof rises 30 feet more. The material to be used in building will be brick; each brick being 12 X 4 X 2 5/16 inches, manufactured especially for this building. The bricks out of which the carved work...
SEVER HALL will be 177 feet in length by 57 in width and 80 in height.

The contract specifies that the building will be finished by April...

After long negotiations, definite arrangements for the race have at length been made; it is to be rowed on the 9th of May at Lake Quinsigamond, the distance being two miles with a turn.

As the contestants hold the championships of their respective colleges, the race will...
