...Legislature of the Charles River Legislation Commission, which, in conjunction with a committee appointed by the Metropolitan Park Commission and the Board of Health of Boston, recommended that a dam be built for the purpose of keeping the water of the river at a fixed level. The opposition was even stronger than in 1869 and this project also failed.

...finish their college work this year and go to the Law School next year. At least four of them wished a Yard room solely because of the opportunity it would give them Class Day. It is now too late for them to be transferred to the Senior Class even did they wish to change. Yet these men are to be driven from their rooms during their Senior year, for the benefit of some men now possibly sub-Freshmen...
