...Running High Kick, the next event, there were five contestants: W. Soren, '83, W. O. Edmands, S. S., S. Coolidge, '83, J. W. Fox, '83, and A. H. Ripley, L. S. The object kicked at was a tambourine, which was suspended, for the first kick, 5 feet 6 inches from the floor. All of the contestants reached it easily at this point, and it was gradually raised until Fox retired at 7 feet 4 inches. He was soon followed by Ripley, who failed to reach it at 7 feet 8 inches.

...about to graduate, the four years spent in Harvard seem very short as we look back upon them, and the query naturally arises, "How much have I accomplished?" The amount of work done may be estimated by one who has pursued a certain course of study with some particular object or profession in view, but to the average student, who has been to college merely for the sake of "getting an education," the question is a hard one to answer.
