...building which the department will now occupy affords plenty of space and is well suited for its purpose. On the first floor there are three rooms. One of these is large, and will be fitted up as a laboratory. It is especially well adapted for an astronomical laboratory on account of its south exposure which is most favorable for making observations of the sun. The other two rooms are smaller, and will be used as an apparatus room and a store room. On the second floor there is another large room, which will be used as a lecture room...
...Foxcroft House has been moved back about forty feet in order to provide space for the new lecture hall, which is to be built there during the spring.

Number five of the Lampoon succeeds in being fairly humorous except when it drops into poetry, as the Lampoon likes to do. Only two of the shortest verses are worth their space--one about "Ella," the other about "Solitary Sue." Both are ridiculous enough to be amusing. Several of the prose contributions show more originality than usual, notably the extract from Gulleivr's travels, which is a very clever parody. A large proportion of the shorter jokes are also above the average, such as the strangely familiar "Men at the Dunyer Cafe." Especial credit is due to the reportorial work...
