...immense crowd gathered on the 27th of August to witness the great event. The two boats came out about five o'clock in the afternoon, and at the word from the starter the crews were off, Harvard rowing 46 to Oxford's 40. Harvard at once took the lead and held it for two miles, but it was then evident that Oxford's reserve power was much greater, as she soon lessened the distance between the boats, and took a good lead which she kept to the finish, crossing the line six seconds ahead of the Harvard crew.

...been made to furnish better music than usual for the dancing in Memorial Hall after the concert. But even with good music, the dancing will be as much of a failure to-morrow night as before, unless some action is taken to keep the floor clear from the curious crowd of lookers-on, who monopolize every inch of space and render dancing impossible from the start...
...clubs. It is a pity that these enjoyable and successful concerts should be anticlimaxed, so to speak, by the careless management of the dancing in Memorial Hall.

These contests would also tend to improve the general standard of work done at the winter meetings-in fact would be the best preliminary training for those preparing to enter the winter meetings. The athletic association ought this year...
...first vesper service, held yesterday afternoon in Appleton Chapel, attracted a large crowd. The service was conducted by Professor Francis G. Peabody assisted by Rev. William Lawrence of Cambridge. The choir was strengthened by the university glee club, giving in all a chorus of over fifty voices. They sang "Domine Salvam Fac," by Gounod, "Ave Verum," by Saint-Saens, and a Harvest Anthem "Ye Shall Dwell in the Land," by Stanier, the first two pieces for men's voices. Professor Peabody delivered an interesting address based on the figure of a shepherd leading his flocks so often used...
