Last Wednesday the university and freshman crews left for Gale's Ferry, New London, where they are now training for the annual boat races with Harvard. Through the generosity of P. Whitney '98, captain of the 1898 crew, the training at Gale's Ferry have lately been renovated and enlarged to twice their former size. Several members of the university squad have been given a short rest since the crews arrived at New London, as it was believed that they were slightly overtrained. Daly has been out of the boat for the past few days and his place has been taken by Ortmayer of the four-oar. On Thursday the university boat went over the full four-mile course, completing the distance in the good time of 20 minutes, 40 2-5 seconds.

It has been decided to change the name of Old South Middle, the oldest building on the Yale Campus, which was erected in 1790, to Connecticut Hall. This dormitory is now being thoroughly renovated and will be fitted up with all modern conveniences. Besides this the exterior has been altered so as to restore it as much as possible to its original appearance. It will be ready for occupancy, it is expected, in time for the opening of college next fall. A fund of over $15,000 was raised in order to preserve this building, which is one, of the two remaining old Yale buildings.
