Fairchild, '93, has almost recovered from the recent injury received while playing football...
...Hare and Hounds runs yesterday W. Alexander L. S. and F. P. King '91 acted as hares leaving the gymnasium at 4.05. Seven minutes and a half later almost fifteen hounds were sent away under J.

There are now nearly one hundred and twenty men on the waiting list for lockers, and probably by the time the lockers are finished the number of men waiting will have reached the number...

Almost, but not quite at the same moment, the legs begin their office.
