...very strange, however, that the college papers paid so little heed to a game which was unknown to most of the students. Even the records of the Lacrosse Association were very few previous to 1879, and these have been destroyed, as if the despairing supporters of the game felt that they had attempted too much in trying to introduce a new sport into a college where boating was at its height, where base-ball was all the rage, and where tennis and rifle clubs were rising into prominence. Lacrosse, though of slow, has still been of sure growth...
...secretary's report of the previous meeting was read and accepted. In accordance with a rule passed at that meeting Bowdoin, Hamilton, Union and Wesleyan were dropped from the association because they had sent no contestants in three consecutive years to the field meeting of the association. The treasurer's report was then read and accepted. It showed a balance of about $105 in the treasury. The report of the executive committee was then read by Mr. Brierton of Columbia.

The fundamental systems referred to comprise catalogues of the principal stars which have been independently formed, for the most part from complete discussions of all the data available previous to the year 1872, and are therefore well adapted to test severely the accuracy of any series of observations, and Prof. Rogers is to be congratulated on the manner in which the observations made by him and his assistants stand the test...
...order that the management of the extension fire ladders may be understood, the superintendent of the yard has suggested that the students practice placing and running them up. The idea is a good one since the ladders are rather complicated machines which could not be properly handled without previous practice, and since, moreover, Mr. Knapp and Mr. Eveleth, who understand the management, both live some little distance from the yard. It would be advisable for the proctors and other officers of government, particularly, to acquire a knowledge of the management of the ladders, since they are always resident...
