...sunshine "bursting" from so many fair faces. Whether the explosion hurt anyone or not, the News dosen't say. The temperature of the hall, the radiant faces of our fair sympathizers, the brilliancy of New Haven gas, the continuous maze impelled simply by the light music, and the bad words uttered when some unfortunate wight stumbled over a lady's train, - not one of these interesting and thrilling accompaniments of the ball go unmentioned...
...Amherst's remaining in the association. In regard to Dartmouth there is more to be said. That college is so far away from all the others which compose the association that at least two days must be spent in travel for every game that is played. Besides this, bad weather may prevent a game, in which case two long, disagreeable journeys must be made.

We will have some twenty-five men trying for places on the team...

In 1881 although weather permitted the race to be rowed on the day set, yet all the crew men, and especially seniors, were hurried in their preparations for the final examinations. Last year, when a delay of six days was caused by bad weather, the race was brought so close on to the examinations that the seniors were compelled to refuse to row if the race was postponed another day. This year, when the very existence of a senior crew depends upon an early date, will be a good time to inaugurate...
