...over such organizations as Battery A, because it will require men to sign up for only one year instead of three. At Yale a voluntary artillery corps was recently formed, and 486 men enlisted for three years, enough to form a battalion of four batteries. In view of the splendid showing made by Harvard men at the summer camps--a showing better than was made by either Yale or Princeton,--it is perhaps not too much to hope that enough men will answer the call to form an entire infantry regiment of 1200.

...entrance of the CRIMSON to the new Crimson Building at 14-20 Plympton street yesterday marks a new era in the history of the newspaper. The large CRIMSON printed today, the first to be issued from the new building, in a measure dedicates the splendid new quarters of the paper. Though the copies of the last two months have been printed in the Crimson Printing Company's new offices in the rear of the building, today's paper is the first to be compiled and edited in the new building itself. The temporary offices that have been occupied since...
