At present the most important stations are situated on the North Sea and on the Mediterranean...

In history there are four additional electives added, one of which - Ancient Oriental History - is believed to be the only course of its kind offered at an American College. In Economics the important courses are extended so as to include more hours per week, while in English - Yale's greatest deficiency in the past - not only are several new courses added but there will be introduced an entirely original and practical method of developing...
