...ponds and streams by the roadside beyond Columous there was a good deal of skating and many of the following seemed homesick at the sight of it. But the train sped on to Cincinnati. Here it arrived at scheduled time, six o'clock. The concert was very disappointing in every way. So few people knew of it in time, that the Glee Club sang to a mere handful in the centre of the hall while the lonesome tones beat themselves to pieces on the empty chairs way off in the galleries. After the concert, barges carried the Clubs...

The new year, only too anxious to take its place, put the men to shame, getting in several hours before most of them...
...That tea will long be remembered. Cleveland is distinctly a Yale town but every body was glad to give Harvard a chance and Harvard accepted its chance in earnest. There was more cordiality in the treatment of the clubs here than in some Harvard places which were visited. The concert in the evening was a great success even in the estimation of the Yale contingency. After the concert the men renewed their late made acquaintances at the Annual Ball of the Union Club. The late hours were beginning to tell and the black lies and tired looks showed that...
