...stroke of last year, will undoubtedly continue with the crew this year. But the energies of the students have not been slumbering in regard to athletic sports; they have merely been diverted, and, crowned with success, they now return to boating with renewed interest. About four months ago, one of our professors, William E. Byerly, a graduate of Harvard, a gentleman who has always manifested great interest in physical culture, determined to make the Gymnasium, which had so often been planned, a tangible reality; he interested several of the students with him in the affair, an association was formed, subscription...

Graceful Holworthy and airy Hollis and Stoughton were passed by without comment; doubtless because their architectural beauty is all latent. Memorial Hall may have struck some tyro in architecture as being a little out of proportion, - one-sided perhaps. Let him banish all such doubts from his mind, for "the building is exactly symmetrical on each side of its longitudinal axis."
