...permanent grandstands were therefore erected. Probably, however, no loss has been incurred through this. The difference in the cost of temporary and permanent grandstands is not large. It is estimated that a temporary grandstand for the Pennsylvania game, in the place of the permanent one, would have cost three thousand dollars, and forty-two hundred were all that were paid for the one we now have. The difference of the twelve hundred has been compensated partly by the larger attendance at smaller games which was attracted by the better stands, and partly by the value of the lumber...
...School, conducted the meeting, and, after an opening prayer, called upon A. E. Bailey '94, to give a short historical survey of the Students' Volunteer Movement. When the movement was started in 1886 by Mr. Moody, at Northfield, Conn., only twenty-one men presented themselves, and now over three thousand men have been definitely pledged to undertake work in the mission fields.

...plant, worth several thousand dollars, was given by a philanthropic graduate who wished to provide means for exercise on the river to more students than those who make the crews. At the time of the year when the club is open, work in the gymnasium is anything but agreeable, and the rowing has made to very many men in the past a most pleasant substitute. It has besides, attracted many men who rarely take any form of exercise. The club needs only to be known to be highly esteemed...
