...revive a custom discontinued several years ago, members of the Glee Club will lead singing in the Yard on pleasant evenings between now and Class Day.

...collegiate record. It was made in the international meet of 1895 when he ran for the New York A. C. And what bright has struck the high jump in these latter days?

On the last hurdle Howe secured a lead that gave him the race by the narrowest of margins. Hartranft and Rand had a close contest for third, the former prevailing...

The greatest praise we can give the members of the University team for gaining this position is to say that a few months ago very few thought they could possibly be victorious. It was only by the hardest kind of work on the part of both athletes and coaches that a well-rounded team was developed, and as the season progressed the results of this consistent effort were plainly shown. Although we were defeated by Yale two weeks ago...
