...opening round of the Beanpot hockey tournament was postponed for the second time last night because of the Boston Blizzard. Originally scheduled for February 6, the subway series was derailed a day to accommodate the Ali-Terrell bout and now two more days. Harvard will face Boston University and Northeastern will oppose Boston College Thursday evening at the Boston Garden...

Though no stranger to wintry storms, Chicago found itself in the brief space of 24 hours paralyzed by the worst blizzard in its history-a raging storm that tore through large sections of the Midwest and caused at least 75 deaths...

Andrews' design emphasizes efficiency. His 30 science labs, which seat 20 students each ("the number that can conveniently look at a reasonably priced TV monitor"), are proving ideal for nonscience classes as well, and are in use 85% of the school...
