...will be of interest to boating men in college: "The number of candidates has dwindled down to twelve; of these six are of last year's crew, and all of them will probably be in the boat again this year; it being a boating custom here at Yale to cling to all men who have ever had a seat in a university boat. The crew rows as follows generally. though some of the other candidates at times occupy...
Then, too, there are other memories that will always cling about the hall. What graduate will forget the commencement and class day exercises held in Sander's theatre, the concerts, and lectures, the prize speaking, or the dancing and gaiety, and beauty often enjoyed and seen in the dining hall?

...altering of old Massachusetts into a dormitory. It seems as if this would be a wise measure, since it would not only increase the present accommodations of the yard, but could redeem from neglect a building which is dear to many of the alumni from the memories which cling to it. By altering the three lower stories into students' rooms, the fourth story could be left undivided and thus be still used for examination purposes. We hope that the faculty may see fit to consider this project at an early date. that steps may be taken toward making the alterations...
