...necessity of such a place, and began early last fall to collect money for it. Thus far they have raised about $2,000. The college gave them the use of the room now known as Harvard 2, originally the old Physical Laboratory and later the Botanical Laboratory. Formerly a somewhat dismal place, it has been retinted, and is now most attractive. The room is furnished with large tables, build around the iron supports, chairs and shelves, and will accommodate conveniently about 100. On the shelves are already about 150 volumes of the most essential books, and before...

...crew. Lynam also, though he still shows the faults of a different style of rowing, is improving. Of the other men nothing need be said for they have all been coached on the same things and all have had the same faults often before. It looks somewhat as if we were to have an early spring and it may be that the crew will be rowing on the water in a couple of weeks...
