The car tracks have been placed in position on the Boston-half of the bridge, and will be extended when the planking is all laid.

There are no important changes in the arrangement. As in previous years, the presence of the juniors and freshmen in Cambridge until class day is assured by placing the examinations in their prescribed course at the very end of the list. With these exceptions the arrangement seems to be satisfactory and no complaint is heard...
