...finish last year, and he has left college. Sweny, '90 S., may possibly obtain second place, though Thibault, of the University of Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly make a good showing in this race. The 220-yards is a doubtful race; Thibault will make a strong effort to win it. Robinson, '90, took second place last year against Rogers, of Harvard. Every man in the University who is at all good at running this distance should train for it, for the winning of this event may secure the cup for Yale...

The explanation is that a student may fit himself without especial effort for Yale and the other colleges in three years, while a man to enter Harvard must remain another year, although there are a number of cases where men by dint of assiduous application have passed the necessary examinations at the end of the Middle year-that is, a three years residence.
