...have gone enough in this direction for to day. Let us take the street just south of the observatory grounds and cross over to Concord Avenue. We how wind our way through Concord avenue, Buckingham and Craigie streets, coming out on Brattle street, and turning to the left we continue our way down Brattle. But first, why all these perambulations? I answer, merely that we may pass through a very pleasant quarter of Cambridge, and at the same time, "take in" the Longfellow house, which we cannot fail to see on our left as we move down Brattle street...

...bringing out men for long distances cannot be over-estimated. If we expect to win the mile race at the next inter-collegiate meeting, we must do something more than run two or three weeks on the track in the spring. This something else, I think, should consist in cross-country runs. Dr. Sargent assured me this fall that there was no sport better adapted to prepare men for the mile and possibly the half than the hare and hounds runs.

Her men extend in a long straggling line for a long mile ahead. What is the matter? Are the Sophomores afraid...

...home. As I am about to mount the steps of the dormitory, I cast my eyes over toward the Delta of Memorial, and there I see three Freshmen standing near the statue of John Harvard, evidently up to some mischief. I watch until they are gone and then cross over to see what they have been up to. To my horror I see upon the scholarly and dignified head of our illustrious founder, what think you? an '88 plug hat! I hastened to relieve the good man from such a humiliating and embrassing position, and appropriate for my private store...

...Cleveland and Hendricks meeting last night it was voted that if 150 names were signed in a book at Bartlett's by this evening the Cleveland men would attend the Democratic procession in body. All men who have torches are requested to make a cross after their signatures...
