...accessions to the Museum, during the past year. From Mr. E. W. Forbes '95 the Museum has received as an indefinite loan a view of the Simplon in water color by J. M. W. Turner, a fine and characteristic example of his mature art. By hanging with it a small early drawing (belonging to the Department of Fine Arts), and also an excellent example of his middle period (loaned by Mr. Francis Bullard '86 of Boston), an instructive synoptical illustration of the development of Turner's genius is given. These drawings, together with the prints of the Liber Studiorum...
...class hockey teams all held practice on Spy Pond yesterday. About twenty men reported for the Freshman team and were given practice in a long game. Work as a whole was satisfactory.

The exclusion for one year of all men who have been members of athletic teams in other universities was intended to discourage the migration of athletes...
...seems obvious that it would be a great handicap. From year to year a good many men from the graduate schools make the teams and the very fact that these men beat out undergraduates for the positions, shows that the teams must be strengthened by them. Owing to her small graduate schools. Yale plays few graduates. Such a rule then must inevitably be to our disadvantage. At present the graduate school in some manner offsets the advantage Yale gets by her careful system of attracting the best athletes from the preparatory schools. That Yale does this, by entirely fair means...
