...stand, so that they can make their calculations for the work of the rest of the year accordingly. We join in this cry, and respectfully urge upon our instructors the propriety of looking over the books, and announcing the marks as soon as convenient. In this connection it is proper to call the attention of the Faculty to the fact that some professors are not accustomed to make public the marks of the mid-year examinations.

Tuesday, Jan. 23. - Twelve men present. Pull seven hundred and fifty strokes. Run two miles. The "time" has improved during the past two weeks, but the men are not well together on the shoot of the hands and the slide forward. Some of the men fail to get the proper recover. Loring reaches forward too much with his shoulders, does not sit up well at the finish, and is inclined to "settle." He shoots his hands quickly, but lets his body follow too fast.
