...approbation of the new committee. Something more startling was demanded, and the columns of yesterday's issue contain the initiatory menace of the committee. "Seniors are urged to sit for their photographs now, in order to avoid a rush in the spring." (The italics are our own).

Atkinson, '85, have obtained preliminary drawings for a grand stand to seat 522 persons, at an estimated cost of $4,528.
