What little ice remains is rapidly melting, and a long stretch up the river is clear enough to give the coxswains little trouble.

Hinners '19 and Mr. W. R. McAllaster '17 who played three movements of Debussy's captivating "Little Suite" for four hands with a commendable understanding of the composer's piquant ideas...
