...over the Technology course, starting opposite the Highland Club in West Roxbury, and finishing at Technology Field in Brookline Village where the last quarter of a mile will be run on the track. The distance to be covered is slightly more than four miles, and the course is a difficult one. The record for the course is held by H. H. Howland of Technology, who won the race...
...Harding are all good men. The backfield is not so certain. Cutler will probably remain at quarterback, and Corbett and White should have no trouble in holding their positions. Leslie and Long, their respective substitutes, are both fast halfbacks and valuable men. The third back is the most difficult to pick. Smith, who played regularly until the injury to his side, will soon be in shape again. Forchheimer, who at present is also out with a bad knee, is the next man. At present these two men are fairly close, Smith perhaps having the advantage. Forchheimer has improved rapidly during...

It is unfortunate to drag a man down in his work the first half-year and handicap him with the task of working...
...Nathaniel Shaw, a wealthy parishioner, from whom if passed through his granddaughter. Polly Shaw, to her husband, Ephraim Woodbridge, the seventh pastor of the same church. Mr. Mitchell, who gives the book to the Harvard Library, is a great-grandson of Ephraim Wood-bridge. It would probably be difficult to find in the College Library another volume containing so many early New England publications of extreme rarity...
