...which he defeated by two-fifths of a second, D. W. Franchot, of Yale, the winner of the individual championship in the meet last year. W. A. Colwell 2G., who finished eighth, was the first Harvard man in, his time being 35m., 28s. His showing would have been better had it not been for the muddy track, conditions for which he is unfitted.

Nor is the opportunity likely to recur for a long time. The play selected shows better than any other extant the development of tragedy in the moral play, and is powerful and moving.
