...some ways Yale gained by waiting. Of the projected ten or possibly eleven Colleges, seven went into operation at once: Branford, Calhoun, Davenport, Johnathan Edwards, Pierson, Saybrook, and Trumbull. Another is going up on the site of Berkeley Oval, and two more will be carved out of the present buildings of the Sheffield Scientific School. With the twenty millions which Edward Stephen Harkness lavished on his Alma Mater, Yale has been able to build five out of the present seven units new, the other two being made out of the Harkness Quadrangle...
Eighty of the 130 U. S. Episcopal bishops convened last week in Davenport, Iowa for a meeting of the House of Bishops. Large on their docket lay the matter of appointing a new assessor (assistant) to the Presiding Bishop of the church, to succeed Bishop Hugh Latimer Burleson of South Dakota who died last August.

Robert Grant, Huntington Hartford, and Sandy Davenport, all Seniors, will beyond doubt fill the top three berths, as they did last year.

It is likely that positions four and five on the A team will be strongly contested for by Sophomores G. G. Glidden, and E. R. Sargent, both of whom did unusually well on their Freshman team...
...this time Floyd Dell "was, and remained incurably. romantic about women." He had had his first serious love affair before he left Davenport, his first marriage before he left Chicago. Like a theme-song through his reminiscences runs the refrain: "And then I fell in love again." Dell and his inamoratas usually parted friends. ''We both cried a little when we said goodbye. We told each other how happy we had been. Like frightened and lonely children, we kissed and parted." All this gave him something of a reputation among his fellow-bohemians. and even began to scare...
