...Gothic chapel of surpassing beauty. Designed by Ralph Adams Cram, it is the largest college building of its kind in the country. And if it is the monument of a dying faith, it is, in its very hugeness, pathetic. The faith of the elders that saw its erection is staunch and living, and it is evident that its intense beauty will cause a Sunday fervor among the undergraduates.

Displaying by far its best form of the season, the University lacrosse team led the powerful Syracuse stickmen 1 to 0 throughout the first half of yesterday's game on Soldiers Field and succumbed in the last period only after putting up a staunch resistance.

Children chattered over the countless, bright colored flat backed outboard boats, dragged parents by the coat tails begging them to come buy. The famed Fantail racing runabout which made such astounding speeds in the late autumn was a continuous curiosity. At an easy angle under her stern projected a bronze colored tail, raising her out of water, reducing hull resistance. Miss America V, world's record holding hydroplane, arrived...
