...Eight events in all were contested and one New England record was broken, that of the potato race which E. H. Clark '96, won in 34 seconds. W. E. Putnam, Jr., '96, in the springboard leap, equalled the Harvard record of 8 ft. 6 in. W. W. Hoyt '98 made 10 ft. 4 1/2 in. in the pole vault and tried to break his record made at Worcester, but failed. Captain Wheelwright of last year's Mott Haven team was a contestant in this event...

Morgan is in the Law School and will run again this year in the mile...
...present term witnesses the greatest social event of the year at Yale - the Junior Promenade. The class germans, receptions and other festivities of the week begin on Monday and end with the Junior Prom., on Wednesday night. The '96 committee have exerted themselves to out-do their predecessors and it is safe to predict that they will succeed. A commendable change is the initiative taken by the committee in checking the tendency toward extravagance. The marked reduction in the price of boxes and the lowering of other expenses stand as a precedent that will doubtless be followed in the future...
