...fourth session of the Summer School of Geology will be held, as were the first and second sessions, in connection with the field-work of the Kentucky Geological Survey. The object will be to afford field practice on the various problems of Physical Geology accessible between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains. Persons may enter upon their work at any time after June 15. The fee for instruction and the use of camp equipage will be fifty dollars for the term of six weeks.

...this impression has only to try a game on the next hot day, and see whether he does not get as much exercise as a strong, healthy man requires. Any form of outdoor exercise can be taken easily; rowing itself, if one rows slowly enough, is anything but hard work; but just as a severe pull on the river is violent exercise, so is a good game of lawn-tennis.

Work will be begun on breaking the ground during vacation probably, and once under way will be pushed rapidly forward. Still, as the building cannot be very far advanced by Class Day, we-think that in thus picturing it, we are responding to a general desire, expressed by Seniors particularly; a desire to have an idea, before leaving Harvard for many...
