Richness of local color characterizes the stories in the current number of the Advocate, which differs from the typical number in that it omits the usual long "leading" piece. It contains, instead, expanded daily themes, which, though they possess no literary merit, are interesting to undergraduates.

...Harper, 3S., "On the Way to the Club," and "Kelley's Scoop," by J. B. Holden, Jr., '99.

The plan was suggested some time ago and the promise was made that if local schools proved in favor, the B. A. A. boathouse and rowing coach would be placed at their disposal during certain hours. As might have been expected this liberal offer was received with enthusiasm by several schools, and now only the final arrangements remain...
