...contested, and the records as a rule were good. In the running broad jump E. B. Bloss made a record of 21 feet 10 inches, beating the Harvard record by 3 inches. The list of the entries would have been larger had more of the men been able to find the Secretary...
...Phillips Brooks preached last evening in Appleton Chapel on the passage in Saint John 38, 11, where Jesus stands before the tomb of Lazarus in sorrow at the grief of Mary and Martha and the friends of their dead brother.

We urge everyone to find out who are the noted men connected with the University and for what each one of them is renowned. It is surprising how many men graduate without knowing anything about the members of our various Faculties except about those few with whom they may happen to be thrown in contact at lectures. It is very trying to hear some one speak of a Harvard man whose reputation is national, perhaps even world...
