...changes were made in the make-up of the Junior crew yesterday afternoon. B. H. Dibblee, who has been prevented from coming out earlier in the season on account of spring football practice, has been doing light work in the tubs for two days and was yesterday given his old place at bow. Marvin moved to 5 where he rowed in last year's class race, and Captain Perkins shifted back to the port side at 4. After these changes the boat seemed to go more smoothly...

In the first place the Corporation is satisfied that exercises held in the Memorial Hall Delta will be free from the dangers of the old shut-in location. In the second place many more people can be comfortably seated and adequate standing room provided for the classes and graduates. Thirdly, while all the good points of the old exercises can be retained, substitutes for the bad can be provided which will add greatly to the impressiveness of the ceremony...
...launch which is building at Cramp's yard, Philadelphia, is expected to reach Cambridge, April 10. The new boat is longer and wider than the John Harvard, and draws less water, thus being better adapted to the navigation of the Charles. She is also faster than the old launch, having a guaranteed speed of 16 knots...
