...large bodies of land from cultivation, and drives down the margin of cultivation. Facts show this statement to be entirely contrary to the truth. It is, moreover, unreasonable to assume that men will not allow their land to be cultivated, and so get the present rent, solely because they expect in future some higher rent...

The records in almost every instance were very good, and the fact that, except in the case of the mile walk, no one of the winners was pressed, give us every reason to expect far better performances next Saturday. Mr. Soren in the running high jump excelled any of his previous records, and in Mr. Atkinson, who cleared five feet six inches, we have an excellent man to take his place next year.

Although we may keep the championship cup this year without the services of a competent trainer, we can hardly expect to do so hereafter. The lack of good training is felt as much in this as in other branches of athletics. We again express our hope that the faculty will next year see fit to allow some different arrangement in regard to trainers than that of this year...
