During the summer several improvements have been made at Memorial. A new ice-chest has been put in at a cost of $400, and a new broiler-added so that the steward is no longer obliged to bake the steaks as was sometimes done...
...missed by students. Those who are absent from their rooms for a short time generally leave a notice on their doors asking for a cup of tea; and another notice that may frequently be observed when walking along the corridors is, "please see to my fire."

The crew is the heaviest that Yale ever put on the water, and, if 'beef' tells, and there's reason to believe that it does, they will not be very far behind Harvard at the finish. Among the members of the crew there is considerable confidence, more so in fact than is either necessary or good for them. The college at large is very non-committal on the subject, and no one seems...
