ABOUT twelve members of Natural History 4, accompanied by the professor and his assistant, went last Saturday on an optional excursion to Chelsea Beach, in order to examine the geological features of Lynn Bay. It is understood that the excursions will continue as long as the weather permits, and will be resumed again in the spring. Marble-head will be visited next Saturday...

The man whose energy did much to bring the crimson three times to the front has severed his connection with the University.
