...correspondent suggests that the spring vacation be changed so as to include Easter Sunday. The suggestion is a good one, and the adoption of it would be a boon to such of us as live in other cities than Boston. Those who live here all the year round can be at home on Easter Day. But it is not so with the others. If we remember aright, when the suggestion to lengthen the Christmas recess was brought up last year, the faculty replied that the power lay not in their hands, but in those of the overseers. Our correspondent...

'89; Day, '89; S.; Wilson, '89 S.; McBride, '90; Dalzell, '91; Dickermann, '91; McClintock, '91; Poole, '91, and Root, '91. The majority of these are good all-round players, and have no remarkable ability in any direction. Walker has played on his class team for three years and is a hard player but he has not developed university abilities. Francke was a member of '89's team which is famous for having lost the "fence game" and played right field. He is not a very sure...
...Imagination in Architecture" is a good attempt, but it fails to prove anything, through the self-same fault of which the writer accuses Ruskinmere assertion.
