...steady resistance, and soon the ball was flying around her goal in a threatening manner. Both sides playing rather carelessly nothing was scored, and time was called with the ball on Amherst's twenty-five yard line. For Amherst Harris and Cahoon did good work, while Harvard's strength lay in good tackling by the rush line and kicking by the quarter-back. Several very pretty runs were made by the half-backs, especially in the first half of the game, when Amherst's hard and quick tackling saved her from worse defeat. On the whole the match gave very...
...respects a thorough success. The hares, Messrs. Norton, '85, and Claflin, '86, left the steps of Matthews at precisely 3.19 1/2 o'clock. A dozen or more hounds who had assembled started seven minutes later, and from then on the race was an exciting one. The course lay through Brighton by indirect route to Watertown, thence to West Newton, on to the junction of Beacon and Washington streets, very near Newtonville. Here the hounds were encouraged by learning from the relay who joined them that the hares were hardly five minutes ahead of them. The road thence through Newton Centre...

The object of this collection of designs is to train the hand and at the same time to lay a foundation of a pure and elevated taste. The plan is good and Mr. Moore is an undoubtedly competent guide...
...that Harvard might not at first have made concessions for the sake of courtesy and harmony; still the conduct of her representatives in insisting upon what they believed to be her rights seems, as the case now stands, technically justifiable. Whatever blame, in short, the severest judges may lay upon Harvard for her conduct up to the time of her departure from New London, there is not the least doubt that the crew is entirely freed from the charge of dishonorable conduct in leaving New London before the race had been given up; it distinctly understood that the race...
...failure of the freshmen to get in to the tree exercises on class day, because of '82's restrictions, is arousing considerably more excitement and ill-feeling than was anticipated. Threats were made that the disappointed freshmen would withhold their rooms, and, as far as lay in their power, would actively show how much they disapproved of the proceedings of the graduating class. We wish to deprecate any such movement on the part of '85. It is a long-established custom that the rooms in the yard shall be at the disposal of the senior class on class...
