...important. The main business of the college, however is in fixing a standard for men. By this standard men go through life, and it is the purpose of the college to encourage a standard that is not so high as to be impossible of attainment, and yet not so low as to prove a detriment. The college in this sense makes...
...team won four out of six matches in the singles, and two out of three in the doubles. Niles and Sweetser won their matches in the singles in straight sets and showed the best form of all the players. Sweetser played a very fast game with a well executed low ground drive. Nile's playing against the Yale captain N. C. Stevens was brilliant. All his shots were fast and perfectly made, and he won most of his points on his service and back hand drive. The scores were as follows...

Barr '10 cleared 12 feet in the pole-vault...

...Howe has shown himself to be in wonderful form this season. Rand will have to be at his very best to beat Dwight of Princeton and Talcott of Cornell for second. The points will probably be divided among these four, unless Robbins, of Yale has improved remarkably. In the low hurdles Gardner has an excellent chance of reversing the results of two weeks ago by winning from Howe. It is not at all unlikely that the former will win. For third and fourth places the most prominent competitors are Rand of Harvard, Hartranft of Pennsylvania, and Gamble of Princeton...
