...been expected, Harvard won nearly every event in which its representatives were entered, taking eleven prizes. The conclusions to be drawn from this result are easily seen. More men have trained this year than ever before, while the system of Class games instituted this spring for the first time, drew out many men who have heretofore kept aloof. By this means, the chance of winning prizes has been greater than ever before, and competitors have been induced to work hard in the hope of being sent to represent us at Mott Haven. The chief feature that is open to criticism...
...beaten 4 min. 45 sec., while Cuyler, '81 (Yale), was the "dash horse." Bell and Thorndike allowed themselves to drop behind at the start, apparently intending to keep their strength for the last lap. Cuyler and Parker in this way got a long lead.

Though the play was necessarily of a local character, yet it was entirely appreciated by the whole audience, and contained no personalities at which the most sensitive nature could take offence. The hits, though scarcely any of them new, were brought out in situations that showed no little ingenuity and dramatic talent. The actors were...
...friend Rossiter spends the latter part of these long winter evenings gazing silently into the fire. I never dared to ask him what shadows he saw there. But last evening he drew me to his side, and while we sat together in the ruddy ember gloom, he painted this picture...
