...with ease. Otherwise it will be anybody's race, Lange being the only fast walker in the Intercollegiate Association. The hurdle race will probably go to Yale, although Mapes, of Columbia, is fast, and will press Berger at every hurdle. Page, of the U. of P., is, without doubt, the highest jumper in the college association, but if he refuses to enter, as is probable, Sherman, of Yale, will be a hard man to beat. Goodwin, Yale, '90, is another good man if his health will allow him to enter. She man also has a good chance...
...change from compulsory to voluntary prayers was an experiment urged by the students. Its outcome was regarded with doubt by those most deeply interested in the welfare of our University. So far the experiment has been a success, and we urge each man for his own sake to do his share toward making its success the more complete...

They were no doubt treated in a very inhospitable manner, and much regret was expressed among those who attended their excellent concert. But matters reached a crisis when a scathing article on their cold reception at Wellesley appeared in the Harvard CRIMSON. It was no doubt just, but slightly inconsiderate. The Sodality do not seem to remember that they came, not on the invitation of the college...
