...point, a loyalty to the class of which they are members. If, then, but a bare third are to be present the dinner must be a failure in the chief object for which it is held. Much as the few may enjoy it, there would not be that enthusiasm and spirit which a gathering of two-thirds or three-fourths of the class would arouse. There is every prospect that the dinner itself and the exercises which are to follow it, will amply compensate men for the price of the ticket. All therefore who have not already signed are urged...
...same experience which we have had for several years. In spite of every effort, interest in wrestling and sparring has steadily decreased. It is a questionable policy to try to foster what little spirit there is for this kind of athletics, if the college will not respond with more enthusiasm than it did on Saturday.

Hardly had the pistol sounded when Brewer like a flash bounded ahead and at the end of the first lap had distanced his man by over 15 feet. In the second lap amid wild cheering Brewer kept leaving Scoville further and further behind until at the end of his last lap Harvard was over 20 yards in the lead. N. H. Bingham '93 and G. S. French, Yale, were the next pair. Bingham...
