Soon a huge procession, consisting of almost all the men in college, and headed by the brass band, marched around the yard with the wildest enthusiasm. The parietal committee forbade the band...
...MILE RUN.F. W. White, '85, and O. A. Mygatt, '87, toed the mark and got off well together. White passed Mygatt at the 40-yard post and rapidly drew away, finishing 20 feet in front of Mygatt, in 53 1-2 seconds, Mygatt's time being 56 1-2 seconds...
