...study of more advanced phases of naval training. Throughout the year the men take four courses. Course 1, which continues all year, consists of trigonometry, as well as solid and analytical geometry, and Course 2 embodies navigation and instruction in Nautical Astronomy. Marine Meteorology, which is the first part of Course 3, was completed by the cadets at midyears, and Commander Nowell is starting a course of lectures on "Naval Principles and Practice...
...question of coming to terms is the sole remaining barrier. Neither Yale nor the University is willing to have athletics take up a large part of its time; the military drill is far more important and can not be curtailed. We must decide just how many hours of practice the teams shall be allowed, and these practice hours must be regularly adhered to in order to have the universities meet on even terms.

In fact, almost all large sums have been turned in. But there remains a matter of 233 pledges, which although overdue, and in spite of repeated appeals from Phillips Brooks House, have been overlooked or neglected. The men who signed these pledges--and mind you, they are all for small sums--should realize the responsibility they incurred to make them good within reasonable time. It would mean a good deal...
