...change. It is planned in the future, as in the past, that the full cost of operation will be charged to students. We expect that the dining halls will be run without loss, in the interest of the entire student body. It is expected that the dormitories will yield net about 5 per cent on the cost of construction. This income will be used toward financing our research. It is not, however, expected that it will be entirely sufficient for this purpose, nor is it considered desirable that the School assume all the costs of research. Nevertheless, this new income...
...batting cage on the first team field was completed yesterday and will probably be put to its first test tomorrow. The affair consists of two framed alleys approximately 60 feet in length and eight feet wide covered with net on the sides and back. A pitcher's box is such a way that a ball coming from one runway cannot possibly strike the man who is pitching into the other By this device Coach Mahan hopes greatly to facilitate battery practice which has hitherto been carried on solely with the old type of backstop...

Up from the bottom were brought glass sponges (similar to ordinary sponges but with fine glass skeletons) and volcanic rock. A traveling net was likewise used, attached to the cable at varying depths. This brought up a number of large-mouthed fishes (i.e., mouths huge as compared to bodies), a male pipefish with a brood pouch full of eggs, giant red shrimps, several octopi, fish with eyes on the end of stalks...
...unrivalled American railroad net was in part the result of this bitter struggle; and pride in its development has led to forgetfulness of the old unscrupulous dealings. Yet even today new giants are waging financial wars, or at least sparring for position in a great game of railroad chess. By the present deal, which was actually consummated months ago, the Rock Island Road gains a position of vantage in the Southwest carrying trade. Looking forward both to further competition, and to a day when the Southern Pacific will seek a road to the East, the Rock Island realizes that...
