...coast of Sevastopol. Russian scientists set to work soon afterward with divers and giant searchlights, found Old Chersonese 210 ft. offshore. The city stretches extensively under water, is surrounded by a semicircular wall. Divers have walked about the large paved market place, now grown over with seaweed, have seen fish swim about in the crumbling houses. So far only southern and eastern portions have been charted.

The cause for this may be seen in Dean Hanford's requiring dropped students to make up their work by taking courses during the summer rather than by sending them into some non-academic activity as was frequently done formerly.
