Cambridge and Oxford beat a combined Harvard-Yale tennis team 13 to 8 on August 12, to regain the Prentice Cup. Five of the eight wins were by Harvard, and in the doubles Crimson Sophomore Charles Ufford joined Yale's Harry Hands for another win.

Summer Face-Lifting

By the time students start drifting back to Cambridge, they will see only the tall end of the annual summer painting and digging campaign. The University Buildings and Grounds department have had Adams covered with scaffolding to repaint woodwork, and the City has been ripping up sidewalks along Massachusetts Avenue to lay pipes.

The Retch Building along with the Antronomy Building have disappeared before the wreckers. While the Graduate center has been completed and integrated into the over-all pattern of the Law School, by moving trees and redirecting paths. At Radcliffe the Yard was dug up to lay water pipes for Agassiz Hall water fountains.

1000 Attend Math Parley

The seven-day International Congress of Mathematicians late in the summer drew more than a thousand mathematics exports the Harvard for the first such affair in the United States this century and the 11th since 1893. Sessions were carried on in five languages and included awarding of prizes, and delivery of papers and addresses. Specialists gathered for smaller conferences in their fields.

Visiting mathematicians lived in the Houses and ate in the Union for the seven days beginning August 30. At the close of the sessions they scheduled the next congress for Amsterdam, Holland, in 1954.
