Allen Cook, special '93, died in Iloilo, March 23, from an attack of acute dysentery. He was born in Fall River, Mass., in 1874. In 1891 he entered Harvard as a special student and under the direction of Professor Putnam of the Peabody Museum he engaged in extensive archaeological researches on Cape Cod and in the mound district of Ohio. At the close of his work he presented to the Museum his entire collection of Indian relics...

With the trial races for the upper class club crews set for the end of this week, and the regular class races only ten days away, the various eights have been now rounded into form and show the effect of their four weeks of practice, in perfected watermanship and general improvement in time and driving power...

The present order is probably final: Stroke, Evans (capt.); 7, Brainerd; 6, Burton; 5, Ivins; 4, Gray; 3, DuBois; 2, Locke; bow, Blake; cox., Goodwin...

The eight which Yale will send will be the second university crew while Annapolis will be represented by her regular crew. The race will be rowed on the river Severn on practically the same course as that on which last year's race took place, which is two miles straightaway...
