...very successful. There are several objections to it, the chief being the difficulty in getting a suitable track near the college. The track in Holmes Field is too small for fast racing, and the only other track near here is the one at Lynn, which is almost too far away. Then, too, such a plan might interfere with the Mott Haven work. Their objection will be carefully considered before any decisive action is taken. In addition to these races, the usual weekly runs will take place, beginning as soon as the roads are in good condition for riding. With...
...later period Shakspere was drawn away from the beautiful boy by a new passion which roused the baser part of his nature. Conscious of his own degradation, he realized that, to attain a true immortality, life must be identified with conditions superior to mortality.

Perry, by skillful handling of the rope and by the plucky work of the team, succeeded in getting back all but an inch. The '88 team, however, pulled...
...lack of co-operation on the part of those candidates who were disappointed in their endeavors for the regular team. It will fail again if left to itself. The college must show an interest in its welfare if the plan is to be successful. Daily practice, games played away from home, and above all, a strong directing hand are necessary for its successful existence. Lack of practice and a state of chronic indifference, are the reasons why the class games have been useless, as far as the formation of material for the 'Varsity nine is concerned...
