...weather holds fair, Fred Sullivan '27, coach of the 150-pound crews, plans to hold a race in the Charles River Basin today, and will presumably limit it to a 6 1-2 minute contest. Although the boat which has lately been listed as Crew A has had the edge in the recent trials, Sullivan expects to make one or two shifts before he settles upon the combination which will meet the Kent School crew on the Housatonic during the spring vacation. The lineups today will be as follows...
Yesterday afternoon the two Junior Class eights raced over a three-quarter-mile stretch in the Charles River Basin. This is the first time this spring that the two crews have rowed at a high stroke for any length of time. The crew stroked by T.E. Covel '32, by a distance of a little over two lengths.

Only a few other regions have escaped man's mapping and surveying instruments: the vast forests and swamps of northeastern Siberia, the fastnesses of northeastern Tibet, the bandit-infested northern reaches of the Gobi Desert, the sandy centre of Australia, the eastern slopes of the unmapped Andes, the vast Patagonian icecap stretching over South America...

The traveling will be done by truck, and the party will usually camp out. The first place that will be visited is the northern basin of the Rio Grande, where ancient lakes will be studied. From there the party will go to the salt lakes in the enclosed basin of the Estancia, and across the plains of Eastern New Mexico, ending at the Carlsbad Caverns...
