...athletics here (until the craze dies out in, say, ten months' time) looks bright indeed. Fast men we have at all distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each for any man who would beat 4 min. 50 sec. in a mile run, or 7 min. 40 sec. in a mile walk. These prizes will be given, as per agreement, at the Spring Games, provided that...

The time of the course is not prescribed, although an attendance of at least four years is expected from a student...
...studying for marks, will be counterbalanced by its good results. The difference between the two systems is, that by the new plan the principle of an honor-system - that men should be encouraged to work - is more fully carried out. By the establishment of the several grades, honors may influence the work not only of those who are studying for a Commencement part or for summa cum laude, but of every man whose marks are over seventy per cent; for prizes of some sort will be within easy reach...
