...also for the night watchmen who are supposed to be on guard to prevent such an occurrence as we are compelled to chronicle today. It seems very strange that four rooms in the dormitories in the yard should have been entered and robbed and yet that nobody, not even those on duty, should have discovered the fact until late in the morning. There seems to be room here for a charge of neglect of duty against the night-watchmen. At any rate, we hope that the recent raid will cause a sharper lookout to be kept during the early morning...
Instead of frankly following up the principle of action indicated by the admitted evils, and expressed in the report of the large majority of its committee, they have adopted the minority report, but with modifications which make it even more unpalatable to the undergraduates. They recommend confining the contests to university teams and virtually to New England colleges, saying that such contests "should take place only in Cambridge, New Haven, and such other New England city or town as the committee on athletics may from time to time designate."

The running in the half-mile race was such as any college might point to with pride, and the record made in throwing the hammer, although not up to the best college...
...spite of the threatening weather, the H. A. A. held its spring meeting Saturday afternoon. The track, while not at its best, was reasonably hard, and the weather even condescended to become moderately warm during the first half of the games. For all the obstacles the meeting was a success. The half-mile intercollegiate record was broken by G. P. Cogswell, '88; while Gibson changed the Harvard record in Hammer throwing from...
