...work cassions were first used; the great ship which had brought over the obelisk that now stands in Rome, from Egypt, was filled with concrete until it sank to the bottom. Then the stone work was built around it and up to above water-level. On top of the break-water a mighty lighthouse, in imitation of the famous Pharos, was erected. All Rome's demands were supplied through Ostia and we therefore find enormous warehouses there...
...some consideration shown in this for those who do not live within horse-car distances of the college and who do not have opportunities of fleeing to the bosom of their families every few days. That a large number of men are compelled by their home ties to break the regulations of the faulty ought to bring that body to change its position on this question. Two more days mean hardly more than three or four recitations to the majority of men and these might easily be made up by a slight addition to the work after the recess. That...
...course lay over Boylston St. to Allston, across the river towards Mt. Auburn, then in a westerly direction, coming out on the Watertown road near the Polo Grounds. Thence across the fields to the north shore of Fresh Pond, and skirting the shore back to Brattle St., where the break was made. Part of the course lay through marshy ground, whereby the hounds succeeded in soaking their paws. Master of the hounds, A. B. Robinson, '87; Hares, Baldwin and Dean, '88. First hound in, Dana, '88; second, Baldwin, '90. The hares won by sixteen minutes...

The bags were dropped at Beacon St., but were not found by the hounds. The break for home was made at Porter's Station. The first hound in was G. P. Cogswell, '88, who came in at 5.06; forty-one minutes after the hares. The hunt was much enjoyed by all, and the scent was lost only three or four times, not-withstanding the fact that...
Favorable comment can be justly made on the performance of Sherrill, '89, on Saturday, in breaking the college record in the 220 yards dash, and the recent successful attempt of Harmar, '90, to break the Inter-Collegiate two mile record. It is apparent from the interest which has been shown in this branch of athletics this fall, and the success which attended the recent meeting of the association, our prospects for making a good showing at the Inter-Collegiate games next spring, are unusually bright. But; as has often been said before, it is only by continued hard and faithful...
