...spite of the many difficulties it has had to contend against, the Art Club has taken a new departure which promises to be very successful and to add much interest to its meetings. Yesterday evening a meeting was held, at which a collection of pottery and old china was exhibited, besides a number of valuable books on art, illustrated by fine engravings, the loan of Professor Norton. Periodical meetings of the same kind are to be regularly held. All those who take the Art Electives, or who even have a vague taste for objects of Art, would do well...

Their endurance is wonderful, and a little more practice in small things, such as starting, will bring them into excellent form. The six to row at Springfield will probably consist of Bancroft, stroke; Bolan, 2; James, 3; Jacobs, 4; Thayer, 5; Morgan, bow. Immediately after the Springfield race these men will go to Saratoga and row in a six. The Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. have decided to try a paper boat in the Saratoga race, and an effort...
