...three-quarter miles; and yet when the Spartan Ladas dropped down dead on completing this course, apparently it was not considered a matter of great surprise, for it was evidently thought a wonderful performance for an athlete to be able to run so far.

...from the "Dickinsonian" this morning, touches upon a subject that may in the future become one of the great college questions. It is well worth the reading, for though the subject that caused its publication has little interest to us, yet the question therein shown in so clear a light concerns us as nearly as it ever can Dickinson College.

The faculty take up the case and try to inform themselves accurately...
