...view of the approaching Athletic meetings, I wish to call the attention of all those who intend to enter to the question of apparel. Last year complaint was made by several persons who brought ladies, that some of the contestants were improperly clothed, and, to prevent any further complaint, it may be well to specify what must be worn. Loose drawers to the knee seem the most suitable articles for running or walking, but if contestants wear tights, the Executive Committee will insist upon trunks being worn over them. At the request of the Association, "Oak Hall" has manufactured several...
...gives us great pleasure to call attention to the announcement of the lectures on subjects of finance and political economy which are to be given by the Hon. Hugh McCulloch in Sanders Theatre. It is certainly a great privilege to have such valuable lectures brought within easy reach, and to be enabled to listen to a gentleman who has made such a name in this department.

O thou a goddess surely! Art thou a sister of Phoebus, or one of the race of nymphs? O, be propitious, and whoever thou art, - brace up on your supper and take a stroll on deck...
...take pleasure in reprinting, by request, the list of events for the Athletic meeting, and we again call the attention of all those who think of entering to the peculiar advantages offered this year. We see no reason why the entries should not be many, and the records better than ever before, as the date of the meeting has been postponed till after the Class Races, so that several who take part in them will be able to compete. There is now every opportunity to practise, and in the next four or five weeks we hope to see many availing...
