...scientific expedition is being formed at Yale to go West this summer. About twelve Yale instructors and students will take part in the expedition, which will leave late in August.

This year careful examinations will also be made of the Freshman crew...
Work on the University boathouse has been progressing rapidly, and it is likely that the building will be completed by early summer.

The four projecting balconies at the corners thus appear as towers, 21 feet square, rising above the main roof...
...cricket team lost to Haverford on Saturday by the score of 42 to 208, not out. It was a thoroughly one sided contest, as Haverford was far superior both in batting and in bowling.

Harvard's bowling was ineffective against Haverford's accurate, dashing play at the wickets, the latter's total being 408 with four wickets to spare...
...taken for a meal. It is proposed to incorporate a ladies' dining room in the new Harvard Union, but as some time may elapse before the completion of the Union, a present remedy for the existing evil seems in order. Why should not the small room leading off the main dining hall at Memorial be devoted to this purpose? It would be an easy matter to furnish it tastefully, replacing the clumsy tables and chairs by something lighter and more comfortable. Waitresses could be engaged for the room, and by means of the outer door visitors could enter without causing...
