...Freshman John Dingus provided the highlight of the weekend’s events with his 48.37 finish in the 400-meter dash at BU, earning a new school record for the indoor event and a fourth-place finish on the day.

...tumultuous time for Burns; in addition to his newfound success, it was also the year that his lover, Mary Campell - for whom he penned his famous "Highland Mary" - died while giving birth to his child.

He then took up with a young woman named Jean Armour, but she became pregnant too. Burns tried to marry Armour, but her father wouldn't have it. Then the poems were published, Burns became famous...
