...Quinquennial catalogue has been printed since the dark ages. This language was reported on good authority to be a close adaptation of that famous tongue which gave birth to the words (since adopted as the favorite motto of the athletic committee) "Veni, vidi, vici." But, alas ! strange inconsistencies have crept in with the progress of civilization, until we doubt if even Caesar himself would take much pleasure in perusing the contents of the catalogue of the present...

...Segur of Andover, W. H. Hogue, Harvard, E. Norton, Harvard, and G. W. Matthewson, Harvard. Immediately after the start the men strung out into line, and finished the first lap with Hogue ahead, and Norton in the rear.

The seniors, pulling in beautiful form, were getting over the course far more rapidly than the others...
FENCING-FINAL ROUND.This was contested by Mumford, '85, who had defeated Morris, and Tweddle who had enjoyed a bye. Mumford got the first point and managed to score still more before Tweddle gained a point. Tweddle gradually crept up, but the fencing was wild and the parrying poor. Tweddle's guard was so low that Mumford easily won the bout, but with much less fine fencing than the first round. As there were no other contestants, Mumford was declared the winner...
