...weight sparring called out Messrs. Bryant, '73, and Curtis, '78. There was some lively sparring on both sides, and the first round was given to Mr. Bryant. After an interval of two minutes, they again came forward; the round was well contested, Mr. Bryant showing great skill in his cross-counters. This round and bout were decided in Mr. Bryant's favor. Then followed the second fencing-bout between Messrs. Cushing, '78, and Churchill, '79.

Though hardly aware of it, almost every step we take in this vicinity is on hallowed ground; nor can we cross Cambridge bridge to the Athens of to-day, without walking streets which are as rich in historic associations and priceless traditions of virtue as any old burgh in Europe.
