...unusually high price of board at Memorial, $4.62 a week for the last month, is owing to two causes: (1) the quality of the board, which has been much better than in previous years; (2) the rise in the price of provisions. For example, eggs cost last year 13 cents a dozen, this year 22 cents, while all meats have risen one cent a pound over the price of last year. Coal, which forms a large item in the expenses, costs this year $5.83, last year only $3.40. In addition to all this, the fact that the Hall was opened...
...Nine was composed for the most part of new men, or of those who had appeared for the first time the previous year. Hooper pitched, but his delivery had ceased to be effective; Thatcher caught; Kent, the captain, played first base; F. W. Thayer, '78, second; Leeds, short stop; Tyng, third; with Tower, Ernst, and Latham in the field. Sixteen games were played, of which only seven were won. Yale won the series in two consecutive games of 9 to 4, and 11 to 4, respectively. Three games with the Bostons proved more disastrous than usual. The Princeton...

...contested by Messrs. G. B. Morrison and A. C. Denniston, the former of whom, although jumping in very good form, fell out after clearing 5 ft. 1 1/2 in., and left the victory to Denniston, who succeeded in getting over 5 ft. 7 1/2 in., thus beating the best previous Harvard record by 4 1/2 in., and falling only 3/4 of an inch below the best American record. Messrs. G. E. Beals, S. Coolidge, and M. Earle appeared for the quarter-mile run, which Beals secured with ease in 56 1/2 sec., after leading all the way, with Coolidge...
...final on Saturday, C. H. Taft was a poor third. The mile-run was the prettiest contest of the day, and resulted in a dead heat between Messrs. A. Thorndike and J. S. Bell in the excellent time of 4 min., 50 1/8 sec., the best previous Harvard record being 4 min. 56 sec., made by Bell last spring. Their styles were noticeably different, Thorndike striking a long swinging gait, while Bell took a short, quick step, and apparently labored much more than his opponent. They will both run on Saturday, and are both entered for Mott Haven likewise...
