...carried to the end of the boat. Then the gunwale is to be made five pounds lighter. A thin brace is to be fixed across the square spaces and next to the ribs of the craft, which will more than make up the loss in strength. The gain, structurally speaking, will be in the greater stiffness of the craft, which is in itself a great consideration and also will allow for a thinner skin than would otherwise be needed. Here is where the big reduction in weight comes. This difference is expected to be between fifteen and twenty pounds, which...
Today the musical clubs start upon their holiday trip to the western cities. We take this opportunity of wishing them all the success which they deserve and will doubtless gain. They have a chance upon this trip to work much good for Harvard. They are the Harvard students' regularly accredited representatives, and as such they will be treated. It should be their effort in such a position to reflect due credit upon the University.

...catalogue of the University, which is out this morning tells the complete story of the wonderful growth and development of Harvard during the past year. The first and most striking evidence of growth is of course sought in the general summary of students. The gain in the University proper has already been stated as slightly under 400. But from the fact that many of the summer courses can now be counted toward the A. B. degree there is very good reason for reckoning the students in these courses into the total. If this be done, the total number of students...
