The crew went through light exercises in the Carey Building and then ran a half mile around the Holmes Field track...
...University crew recommenced practice yesterday at the Carey Building. The men went through some light exercises and then took a short run.

To make room for the longer oars the zinc floor has been taken out of the tank. This will make a greater depth of water in both channels...
Professor J. Trowbridge, Director of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, has recently made several important discoveries in electricity. He has found that just ten thousand volts are necessary to produce the so-called X-rays. His discoveries have broken up the old theory that the carbons in an are light must be united to start the flow of light; it seems that, as a matter of fact, the first spark overcomes the atmospheric resistance and the column of air thus heated conducts the following stream of light...
