CHARLES SUMNER entered college in 1826, and occupied during his college course 17 Hollis, 12 Stoughton, and 23 Holworthy. He was a brilliant student in many studies, - belles-lettres, for instance, and history; but other studies so brought down his average that he did not stand within the first third of his class...
...toss was won by Princeton, and the game promptly began at half-past two. A heavy wind was blowing against our team. For some time the ball was kept in the centre, until a fine run by Houston, and another by Bacon, brought it well up to Princeton's goal. After some sharp playing on both sides, the ball was passed to Holmes, who, by a fine rush, secured the first touch-down for Harvard.

...clubs presents a problem which puzzles the most astute boating men. The handiest reason for the rapid decline in interest is the much-worn "Harvard indifference." It seems probable that the high state of civilization which we have here attained is antagonistic to boating. As proof of this is brought forward the fact that the Weld Club, which, since Beck Hall was included in it, has represented the pinnacle of our social development, has made the most complete fizzle of all. To-morrow it is not to be represented in either race. For this we must not look down...
