...course will start from a line drawn three hundred feet from the coal sheds below the railroad bridge and parallel with a line drawn from Otter street near the Union boat house; the latter is to be the finish. The course is so arranged that two crews will pass through the first span of the Harvard bridge on the Boston side of the draw, and one through each of the adjacent spans on the Boston side of the draw. A meeting of the captains of the class crews was held last evening in Captain Herrick's room to arrange...
...routes proposed for the canal-the southern route; the route by Panama; the ship railway, and the canal through lake Nicaragua. It was found that the southern route would require a tunnel to be drilled through solid rock, high enough to allow there lower masts of a ship to pass under. This trunnel would have been very expensive, and it was also found that the expense that would have to be increased in sending down the topmast of vessels would offset the advantage gained by the canal, so the scheme was a bandoned. The plan of a ship railway...
...crews will row against each other on the same day. It has been found that the new Harvard bridge, not withstanding the breadth of its spans, will cause considerable difficulty, and some very clever steering will be required of the coxswains. Two of the four class crews will probably pass under the span nearest the draw on one side and two under the corresponding span on the other. The positions will be determined by lot in ample time to give each crew a chance to get perfectly familiar with its course before the day of the race...
...compilations, while still others are proclamations or letters from the king, petitions to him or reports from his generals and his governors. The total impression made by such records when taken in connection with the art remains is that of enormous power and enterprise. The politics of western Asia pass before us like a mighty panorama. The products of the imagination are partly mythical and partly legendary. The great poem known as the Izdubar epic seems to be a solar myth and contains as an episode a deluge story practically the same as in the book of Genesis. There...
...practically repeated without the chance of freedom from other college duties. If hour examinations must continue a feature of our college, let them come systematically, let there be some agreement between instructors, so that men will not have to neglect shamefully the work of one course in order to pass creditably an hour's test in another, or worse still, fail to do themselves justice in any of their courses. The crowding of these examinations utterly without plan into the last three days of the term, in addition to the extra work at this time, is one of the worst...
