With the exception of Thursday, which was a cold, raw day, and of Saturday, when the rain fell in torrents during the forenoon and part of the afternoon, the weather during the recess has been delightful, and well suited for out-door sports. The various athletic organizations have made the most of it and have been practising daily. All the class crews remained in Cambridge during the week, and every afternoon took practise spins on the Charles. The 'Varsity were here until Saturday, when they took a few days vacation; they will begin rowing again to-morrow. The men experienced...
...these days of rebellion against compulsory prayers, and of numerously signed, but ungranted petitions, it would be well to bear in mind the burdens under which the students of earlier days of the college had to struggle.

The presence of the army of proctors and their redoubtable general was the only thing needed to add zest to the whole affair. It was doubtless the failure of his part of the programme which caused the early breaking up of the demonstration; for by half-past nine only the glowing embers of the fire remains, and an occasional lone tute of a fish horn was the only sound to break the silence...
