In the first place, its small size restricted its use almost wholly to the members of the hockey team. In the second place, it was built on reclaimed land, which caused the water to run out and the ice to crack in consequence when the tide was low.

Why, for example, did the Pilgrims place their settlement and their college in so flat and uninteresting a spot as Cambridge? Simply because elsewhere the land was so covered with glacial stones that...

This is to be the administration building, where all the executive offices of the University will be located. It will stand on the new land from the Weld estate on Wall street.
