Inclement weather would have a greater effect than before in detracting from the comfort of all, inasmuch as some of these exercises, now held in Sanders, would be transferred to a spot unprotected from the rain and the chill of the wind; and the older graduates, who have the very first right to the enjoyment of Commencement, would suffer the most.

In punting, he failed, however, to come up to expectations, although handicapped by Parkinson's poor passing...
