Cutler had been stroking the University four-oared crew and with both him and Morgan out of the boat today a whole new port side was necessary. In order to select the men for these two places the crew was sent down into Kimball's Cove this morning, and F. A. Reece '09, and G. G. Bacon '08, tried at stroke, and S. A. Fahnestock '08, R. S. Lovering '08, and Bacon at 2. Coach Wray superintended the work from the rail road embankment...

He was present at the battle of Mukden and remained in that city for two months. After several more months at the front and on the lines of communication, he returned to Japan, where he engaged in further study of the Medical...
