...turf. In many places the earth has been upturned, carefully raked and put in readiness to receive the flowers and shrubbery which, we understand, are to be planted in a few days. Along the edges of the grass plots where the grass has been rudely worn down, fresh sods have been placed. The flower beds have been laid in many instances close to the corners of the college buildings, along the routes which have been used by students as "short cuts" regardless of the fact that narrow foot-paths across the turf mean death to the young grass. The pernicious...
TUG-OF-WAR.Much interest had been manifested in the result of the tug-of-war contest which was to decide whether '88 would be able to withstand the efforts of the freshman team, which came to them fresh from its victory over the sophomore and various local teams. Hearty applause was given to the contestants as they appeared on the floor of the gymnasium. '88 had the south end. Word was given without much delay.

Grew forced the fighting and kept trying...
Cherubini's overature ("Anacreon") was played in a masterly manner, the fine quality of the strings being especially praiseworthy. The soloist of the evening, Frl. Adele Aus Der Ohe, created wonderful enthusiasm by her fresh and inspired playing. She possesses a remarkably delicate touch, and at the same time has sufficient power and technique to play the most exhausting concerto. It is a pity that she chose the E flat concerto of Liszt as her solo number, as it offers very little that is appreciable. Frl. Aus Der Ohe was recalled at least seven times by the combined applause...
