Final arrangements for the summer cruise of the Yacht Club have been made. There will be two divisions, one south and one north of the Cape. The southern division will assemble at Vineyard. Haven on July 22. From there the fleet will sail westward reaching Newport a day before the New York Yacht Club. The northern division will leave Marblehead August 5, thus giving the members opportunity to enter the open races there on August 1, 2 and 3. From Marblehead the fleet will cruise to Isleboro, where open races will be held about August...
...Lawrence Scientific School surveying camp was situated this last summer on Martha's Vineyard at the Makonikey Inn, an unused hotel near Vineyard Haven. Up to this year the expedition has usually been taken to Professor Shaler's estate in Chilmark, but the rapid increase year by year in the numbers of those who were taken has made larger quarters necessary. Makonikey is a very convenient starting place for surveying practice as the land rises near the shore high enough to give good locations for triangulation stations. With the sea so close by, the mean sea level is easily obtained...
...expedition of the Engineering Department this year will be to Makoniky, Martha's Vineyard. Mr. Turner and about sixty men will leave Cambridge on June 16 and remain at Martha's Vineyard until August 4. At Makoniky, a small town a few miles south of West Chop on the Sound side of the island, the University has rented about 400 acres of land with a summer hotel and wharfing facilities.

The disproportion of resources between the two contestants reminds one of the Persians and Greeks. Our own ancestors had infinitely smaller odds to face when they rose in revolt. The doctrine that we should...
...plane analytic geometry; one in experimental physics by Assistant Professor Sabine; one in elementary geology by Dr. Ladd; two in geological field and research work by Professor Shaler and assistants; and two in engineering by Mr. Turner, topographical surveying and railroad engineering, with field work at Martha's Vineyard. The last mentioned course can count only for the degree...
