...Weld Boat Club was founded in 1890 by George W. Weld '61, for the promotion of undergraduate rowing. The old club house stood on the site of the new one until the erection of the latter in 1907. The club was a great success from the first and filled a long felt want. This interest showed itself in the development of good crews and scullers, whose excellence is shown by the fact that in one regatta alone the club won seven events. The University crew drew many of its members from the Weld crews, taking five men from one eight...
Final plans are now being drawn by the architects, Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, for the new Dental School building, which is soon to be erected on the corner of Longwood avenue and Wigglesworth street, Brookline, on the site purchased three years ago by the Corporation. As at first planned, the building was to be three stories high and was to cost in the neighborhood of $250,000, with as much more needed for a permanent endowment fund. As only about $140,000 of the building fund has been raised, including the recent gift...
From a source which cannot yet be publicly announced, the Dental School has received promise of the funds necessary for the erection of a new building.

It is an excellent situation for the new building, both from its convenient proximity...

It was thought that a larger expenditure was unnecessary, as the alumni will probably erect a bridge over the Charles at some future time which will cost several hundred thousand dollars and will be more in keeping with the surroundings than any temporary structure...
...Cambridge and Boston, and Mr. E. D. Leavitt of Cambridge, has authorized the drafting of plans for the construction of a bridge to replace the present one on Boylston street, near Soldiers Field, which connects Cambridge with Brighton. The new bridge will be a temporary structure, however, below the site of the permanent bridge, which will probably be built shortly. The object of the new bridge is to afford a traffic way during the building of the permanent bridge in the place of the present inadequate structure...
