...present, in contrast to the small number usually attending class dinners after Freshman year. Now the Juniors are making another experiment by substituting a strawberry night for the annual function. Affairs of this sort are always valuable as a means of bringing the men together, and the new schemes seem to be particularly enjoyable from their informality. Tickets are now on sale, and it only remains for the Juniors, by a representative and enthusiastic attendance, to take full advantage of what will really be the last opportunity for the class to meet as a whole...
...three upperclass crews all had changes in their orders up to the latter part of last week, but in spite of this fact they have materially improved during the last few days, and at present seem to be very evenly matched. The Senior crew is made up of powerful men and rows well together. During the week the slide work has become much smoother and the blade work better.

Although attendance at the Gymnasium has increased four-fold, two Law School, two Medical School, and two Scientific School buildings have been erected at Harvard since the Hemenway Gymnasium was built...
