A slipping along this fault may be expected every century at least, said Professor Mather, "This might reach an intensity of 8, sufficient to injure buildings, particularly those in filled land such as the Back Bay.

This would by no means eliminate intercollegiate sport. It would merely cut down schedules whose...
