...start was made on the Technology Field at 10.40 O'clock, and the race run in circuits of one and one-half and four and one-half miles. At the start P.D. White of technology took the lead, followed by E.L.Veits '11 of Harvard in second place. The order had changed at the end of the first circuit and H.G. Watkins, L.O.Mills, and H.S. Benson, all of Technology, led. Withington, the first Harvard man at the time was running fifteenth...
...been decided that the event will be run over the regulation intercollegiate distance of six miles, which will be run in two circuits of three miles each. The start will be from the Technology field, Brookline, over a course including part of the Larz Anderson estate, and return with another circuit over the same route and the finish on the quarter-mile track at Technology field.

This attraction is great enough in our community to induce some 800 men to put aside their books...
Parades of such proportions as the one tonight present certain dangers as well as desirable features. There will be in the neighborhood of 2000 men in line, and a long circuit has been mapped out to march over. No one claimed for a minute that the good done the Republican party by the parade four years ago was one-tenth as great as the harm suffered by Harvard College. Even the remote possibility of the recurrence of such an episode in which college men disgraced themselves in the public eye has prompted the Student Council to supervise the arrangements made...
