Last evening at the Colonial Club W. C. Forbes '92, who coached so successfully the freshman teams of the last two years, gave an interesting talk upon "The Strategy of the Game." He defined strategy as the best use of opportunity and showed the strategic value of various parts of the field, of certain seconds of time and of the advantage to be gained by having the whole team understand "the why" of every play...
Coming now to the method of taking photographs, the lecturer showed the difference in the process. In taking a photograph with cathode rays a plain dry plate is used. There are the customary slides in the holder but there is no central opaque partition. The hand or object to be photographed is put on the slide and you get a photograph of the shade. As glass absorbs the rays a lens would be of no use and would prevent the taking of a photograph. Thus the common process of photographing is exactly reversed with the cathode rays. This was illustrated...
...aware that this word of warning against unsystematic exercise may seem uncalled for to many students, and doubtless it is true that to the majority of the men who use the gymnasium it is unnecessary.

Returning now to Dr. Sargent's lectures, we feel that this series of talks will be exceedingly valuable and should be appreciated and taken advantage of by the students...
...Yale's weak points brings out another difficulty in the Library equipment, its deplorable lack of funds for anual purchases. In a recent letter Dr. W. L. Phelps adds force to Professor Cook's statement that the Library receives too little attention and in some respects, too little use, and adds the charge of poverty of Library funds.

Yale has but $7000 annually available for book purchases, against $43,000 at Columbia...
...candidates unchanged save for the addition of W. M. Beard of last year's crew and C. Chadwick to the squad. Nothing further has been done for a 'varsity race and no arrangements are as yet possible for the '99 crew. It is likely that the crews will use the harbor soon if it remains as open as it has been. Additions of the trophy flags of the Lawrence-Sheffield Scientific Schools race at Worcester in 1870 have been made to the trophy room. The Hemenway Gymnasium has trophies of a similar race...
