The University crew certainly gives promise of great hopes of success when they come to be matched against Columbia and Yale in the latter part of June.

It now only remains for the students at large to show their appreciation of this most interesting course by being present at the remaining lectures. Such opportunities to learn new facts concerning the Civil War from such good authorities are seldom obtainable, here or elsewhere.
