...athletic managers is certainly much fairer and more sportsmanlike than it would have been had she agreed with their ruling. It tends, moreover, to better the prospects of an amicable and speedy agreement between the college and Harvard.

Ellis' article on "Count Rumford" make up the history and biography. The former would undoubtedly be of interest to many not only on account of its pleasing...
...five-year agreement with the Harvard Boat Club may prevent the adoption of the undergraduate rule this year in rowing, and until that question is definitely settled no correct idea of the material at hand can be obtained, The track athletic team likewise, is bound by the rules of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, and in this there are so many colleges that it is impossible to say whether or not it will adopt the undergraduate rule.
