...yard dash probably lies between E. H. Rogers, '87, of Harvard and C. H. Sherrill, Jr., '89, of Yale, both of them comparatively new men. Rogers beat Sherrill last year, by six inches according to the partisan decision of the judges. J. P. Elton, '88, of Trinity, claims fast time, also, in this race...
...delayed by the "perverseness of the crowd, and the inability of the Medford police to keep them back." The Harvard nine went on to the field with their "tails up," took the lead at the start and kept it to a finish, blanking Lowell three times.

...instructor: care should also be taken in selecting a man to teach such a course which admits of great partisanship. He should be able to give a faithful account of all the events that would come up in the course. Nothing injures a student more than a partisan instructor. He should be neither an Anglomaniac, a Francomaniac, a Conservative, a Radical, a Republican or a Democrat...
