The graduate school will be on a more satisfactory basis under the sole control of the faculty of arts and sciences than when the courses were arranged by one body and the degrees recommended by another.

At present the instructors, though still members of the faculty of arts and sciences, will form a separate administrative board, and will have their interests more closely bound to the Scientific School...

During the third and fourth laps Davis gained steadily and at the end of the third he and Smith passed Hutchins and Drummond. About half way through the fourth lap Davis, riding magnificently, overtook Smith, and took the lead. But the effort...
