...hounds at their head, started in pursuit. The scent lay across the common, up Concord Avenue, over fields and fences near the Cambridge reservoir, and then along the south end of Fresh Pond. Once or twice the scent was badly scattered and some delay ensued. The trail finally led around Fresh Pond toward the north, past the brick yards in North Cambridge, and down the Fitchburg railroad track until the bags were found in a field near the track. The foremost hounds had to wait here until the more backward men came up, according to the rules for a slow...
Yesterday afternoon the base and finally the figure of the John Harvard statue were placed in position on the Delta. Much interest was shown by the students, who formed groups around the workmen until the bronze figure was finally lowered into place.

The usual request to dispense with the presence of the upper classmen was rebuked...
...game has been unequalled in the last ten years. In the eighth inning when Harvard had three men on the bases and only one man out, and needed only two runs to tie the game, the suppressed excitement was almost unbearable. I saw graduates of the 'fifties and 'sixties around me who were so nervous that they had to sit down and steady their hands in order to light a cigar. Gray-haired, venerable-looking men entered into the sport with all the zeal of their young friends just out of college. The enthusiasm of the latter found vent...
