...heavy handicaps against him; in this, his time was 58 2-3, a remarkable fast time, considering the smallness of the track. In the mile walk, Messrs. Bemis and Lord, although walking very fast and in very good times, were unable to overcome their heavy handicaps sufficiently to gain a place. Mr. Bemis had the gratification of beating his old rival, Ware, of Columbia, however. During the evening, Myers ran an exhibition 440 in 56 2-3, and Geary, ex-champion of England, ran an exhibition mile in 4-58 1-2. In spite of the almost unfair handicapping against...

...makes its improvement his life work. Such things as this must be remedied, and there must be a class of men to remedy them. Every science and every profession would offer analogous opportunities for the development of a man's concentrated energies in a direction where all hopes of gaining money must be thrown aside. Harvard abounds in rich young men whose eyes ought to be opened to the possibilities of entering upon a course of purely theoretical labor, in which they may not only find personal satisfaction, but also gain the gratitude and the esteem of their more unfortunate...
