Contracts have recently been let for erecting the new University Medical School buildings which are to take the place of the old buildings behind the Boston Public Library, and the work upon them has already commenced. The architects, Messrs, Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, of Boston, have drawn plans for six structures of very large size, five of which will be grouped about three sides of a court 520 feet long and 215 feet wide. The sixth building, to be used for a power-house, will stand apart from the main group and will furnish the necessary power for lighting, heating...
...never behind in the score, and most of the time was ahead, but the lead, when it existed, was so perilously small that the game was never considered won until the last touchdown gave a sufficiently commanding advantage.

...influence. But if you put this influence at the service of any coaches who wish to give a team a public lashing; (I say this because this morning's editorial shows every sign of having been inspired by some one connected with the squad); if you allow yourself to let what are really the expressions of interested parties appear to come from some impartial and justly indignant member of the onlooking student body by publishing communications anonymously, you will soon create a new state of things entirely. The season's training will be made a real night-mare...
