...Harvard nine works better at Yale than here. Felton will face a difficult task this afternoon, but his record shows that he pitches even better in hostile territory than at Cambridge. In the deciding contest with Princeton, in which the Orange and Black cheering section was on its feet shouting continuously for the last three innings, he allowed but three hits. Today, even with stronger opposition from the lusty throats of Yale graduates, there is no reason why we may not expect as fine a performance.

According to reports received today, the course for the races next Friday will probably either be shortened by 150 feet at the end or the start will be pushed forward the same distance.

...drill hall will at once be turned over to the newly established Harvard Engineering School for use as a laboratory for mechanical engineering. It is a large building, 280 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a power house immediately adjacent to it, and when fitted out will offer unusually ample facilities for laboratory work in mechanical engineering. It will also enable the electrical laboratories located in Pierce Hall to more than double their present capacity, and will increase as well the laboratory facilities in sanitary engineering and metallurgy...
