Indeed, what with the ladies in their summer costumes and the Freshmen in their spring suits, the writer had great difficulty in keeping enough of his wits about him to take notes for the following account of the sports themselves...

Holyoke at present is made up of C. G. Weld, '79, stroke, W. S. Miller, '78, D. T. Seligman, '76, J. N. Willison, '77, C. Isham, '76, P. Tuckerman, '78, bow.

But if I had asked Augustus if he sneered at Smudge...
