...heavy storm of wind and rain visited southern Indiana and Ohio yesterday. At Hamilton, O., houses were unroofed and trees torn up by the roots. The water in the Miami river rose so high that mills on the banks stopped work. Telegraphic communications and railroad travel are obstructed...
...well nigh impossible to criticise the style and form of the Yale crew. All the teachings of "Bob" Cook have been thrown to the wind, and in their place we have the "Hillsdale" stroke. Swing there is none, and all that is aimed at is a fast stroke. The men vary but little from the perpendicular either at the beginning or end of the stroke, and the sole means of propulsion employed are the legs and arms. The former to push the slide back and the latter to finish the stroke by pulling the oar home. There is a very...

Mr. Lilienthal, '83, will sing the solo, and Van Raalte, of Boston, will probably play the violin accompaniment. The words are the song of Wabun, the East Wind, from Longfellow's "Hiawatha." Mr. Burton's setting is often strongly suggestive of Wagner, but altogether his treatment is decidedly original. He has shown great taste and judgment in his work, which will undoubtedly meet with a deserved success...
