After the rain we have had for the last month, the pleasant weather of Saturday did not fail to bring out a large audience at the Second Winter Meeting. This meeting, like the one the week before, proved to be of unusual excellence. The interest centred in the sparring.

All the events were good, because the contestants were evenly matched. It was a surprise to many that the '87 tug-of-war team should...

...geometrical ratio as his years in college advance. Is it fair, then, that every one of the four hundred boarding-school boys in various parts of the United States who are intending to come to Harvard next year, but who have absolutely no connection with college, many of whom never will be here or will be plucked in the examinations, should have an equal chance at the limited number of rooms available, with fellows who have been here two and three years, have their friends and interests centred here, who will have, perhaps, only one other chance? Is it fair...
