...chosen Chairman, and E. M. Hartwell, Secretary. The business went on smoothly, and many important decisions were made. Among them these are the most important: that each boat shall start from an anchored boat; if the race is postponed from the time appointed, it shall take place the next pleasant afternoon; that a single scull race shall be held, open to men of all colleges in the Association, provided three entries be made before June 20. The selection of a Referee was left to a committee consisting of McClellan, Oakes, and Hartwell, which will report in July. A new starting...

The one so attracts us that, were the time at our disposal, nothing would be esteemed a pleasanter amusement than the privilege of capturing this...
...Hollis. The last item is a skull, with a few names artistically painted on the exterior; there is also pasted thereon "Byron's Apostrophe to a Skull." A human skull in this heterogeneous heap!
