Throughout the whole building every care has been taken to add to the convenience of the rooms, and the only drawback is in the apparent lowness of the ceilings.

The building will contain about fifty-five suites of rooms, all of which will be conveniently large and well-lighted...

He himself says that the nine have remarkably good prospects for a successful season. The old superiority which Harvard has held at the bat bids fair to disappear from Cambridge, only to emerge in the vicinity of New Haven. The daily practice which the Yale men take in the cage, especially at the bat, has shown marked improvement since the beginning of winter, and if Yale's prospects were good in the fall, they now, at the beginning...
