...annual supper of the Institute of 1770 came off last Friday evening at Young's Hotel. There were about sixty present, including all the members of the first ten from...
...think for moralizing, and saying that our training has been insufficient; nor is it fair to say, as many do, that our Nine is not as strong as Yale's. We must not lose heart for the rest of the series because we have been beaten in the first two games. Both of these games were played under peculiarly unfortunate circumstances; Fessenden was greatly missed in the first game, and Tyng's absence in the second was irreparable.

When our University Bicycle Club is organized, and a good track has been laid on Holmes or Jarvis, we have no doubt that 11.31 will be equalled and beaten. The race at Beacon Park last week shows that we have the material...
...better time for it than the week of the University race at New London. If any decision in this matter is to be reached this summer it ought to be made at once, to enable the contestants to make the necessary preparations. As Mr. Livingston has taken the first step, it is only fair for his college to support him, and we understand that if a formal challenge is received from Yale it will be favorably considered...
