...secured the promise of a large number of rooms for Class Day. He has found that he does not need all the rooms, and so he is selling the extra ones to seniors less fortunate in securing rooms for Class Day.

The Yale freshmen batted harder than ours and bunched their hits better. The Harvard freshmen...
