...boating convention at Worcester a resolution allowing candidates for the degree of A. B., Ph. D. & c., to row on University crews was passed. Nothing was said about admitting men from the Freshman class in scientific schools to row together with the Academic Freshmen.

At the head of this Bureau is General Oliver, of '5.2, whose work is to gather statistics regarding "the various departments of labor, and the social and educational condition of the laboring classes." With the return of peace no greater questions are pressing themselves on the attention of public men than those which come within the scope of this Bureau.
