...KESSLER, '78, who won in 1876 the prize for middle-weight wrestling, and in 1877 the prize for heavy-weight wrestling, will not enter any of the contests at the Gymnasium this year.

All this might be obviated by having a small boy to consult the cards or look at books for the library girls; then they would be at peace in one part of the building, and we in another...
