The University was shocked yesterday afternoon to learn of the probable drowning of four Harvard students, William Campbell Trusdell L. S., of Newark, N. J., Edwin Stanton Bach '95, of New York, Franklin Whitall '94 of Philadelphia and John Farnam Brown '94, of Philadelphia. They went for a sail on Sunday afternoon from City Point and nothing more was heard of them until Monday night, when some clothing belonging to Trusdell and Brown was found near Thompson's Island. Yesterday morning the bodies of two men were found and were identified as the bodies of Bach and Brown. There was no news of the other men late last night and it seems almost certain that they too were drowned.
