Well, the field was shoveled, despite the alarming number of desertions, and the men to whose efforts this great work was due, watched the subsequent game with Yale with feelings of well deserved satisfaction.

What man that followed the Harvard transparencies last night will ever forget the amount of fun that was crowded into those few short hours? It will be many a year before the incoming freshmen cease to hear of last night's exploits; and the tales that are handed down to future classes will lose nothing in magnitude, be well assured. Yes, it was a great parade; the brass band exhausted its repertoire, then, as encore, exhausted it again, and finally gained fresh glory by playing...
