...position on the Delta. Much interest was shown by the students, who formed groups around the workmen until the bronze figure was finally lowered into place. The base is very simple, being nearly a cube in shape, but tapering slightly, so that the top is smaller than the bottom. On the front is the simple inscription cut into the stone...
...well for us to examine in this connection. We have been defeated regularly in foot ball-as a matter of course-year after year, and last fall we underwent the same experience.

On the Thames, our crews which began the year under as favorable suspicious as ever attended a crew, went to pieces at New London, barely won a race from Columbia's wretched crew and were beaten by Yale, Everyone knows how Yale...

The cost of taking out the bottom slabs, altering the sides a little and replacing the bottoms would be considerable, but it would be well worth the money expended. These tubs are in such constant demand in the afternoons that towards evening they are often far from pleasant to use. To remedy this evil would put the gymnasium in a state one degree nearer the perfection which it aims...
