...Cornell finished first in the third mile, with Pennsylvania second and forty yards ahead of White. Clark started the last relay fifty yards behind the leader, and ran a strong race all the way, gaining gradually on the Cornell runner, whom he passed at the three-quarters mark. He caught Bushnell of U. of P. on the turn into the home stretch. The finish was a plucky spurt on the part of both men, Clark finishing two feet ahead. Time by miles: 1 2 3 4 4m. 44 1/5s. 9m. 25 4/5s. 14m. 5s. 18m. 45 2/5s...

The second Weld crew seemed dead after the first mile. The men rowed smoothly and were well together but lacked life altogether...

The Roman law as it is manifested and re-imbodied in the Napoleonic code, appears to him unjust. He would like to emancipate women entirely, and he desires also to have French social legislation framed after the pattern...
...drawings are taken from very early volumes, they are not pointless, by any means, and some of them apply very well to the life of today. The "Manners and Customs of Ye Harvard Studente" by F. G. Attwood '79, make a set of pictures in which the author has caught the spirit of his scenes in a remarkably happy way.
