...botanical museum, the materials for which have been accumulating for several years. These two buildings will form the central part of the front of the projected University Museum, of which the Museum of Comparative Zoology now forms the northern wing, while the Peabody Museum stands at the eastern extremity of the southern wing. Another large lecture room will also be provided, and proper consideration for the feelings of the students certainly demands that it be placed a few flights lower down than Professor Shaler's present lecture room...
...gymnasium. The gymnasium work consists principally of Indian club swinging and chest weights. The men also run a few miles every day. Three pitchers and three catchers are training, and from these it is hoped that a good change battery can be developed. The nine are arranging for an eastern trip.

No further dates have been settled, but during the following week two games will be played with...

In the central portion is a small park...
...been suggested that the bicycle club join the Eastern Road Club and send a team of three men to compete in its 25-mile road races which take place every spring and fall. There can be no doubt that this would be an excellent plan for improving the average riding of the club, just as competition with other and better nines improves the playing of our nine. The only objection is that the spring race occurs near the time of the Mott Haven sports, and the best riders may be away at New York. Still it is unlikely that more...
