...quarter-mile run Yale is weak, and the race will lie between Banks, of Columbia, who holds the world's record at that distance, and Wells, of Harvard, who is remarkably fast and will push Banks very closely for first place. In the half-mile run, too, Yale is pretty weak, and unless some new man turns up this event will go to Cogswell, of Harvard, who was entered in the fall games last year, or Faries, of the U. of P. Both of these men are strong runners at that distance and the winner will have to make good...
...Harvard Reminiscences" is the forthcoming book by the Rev. Dr. A. P. Peabody, Preacher to the University, and one of the best-beloved and venerated men in America. For a quarter of a century he has been a higher officer in the college, and it is two-thirds of a century since he first became connected with Harvard-first as a student and then as tutor. The book includes bright little monographs on scores of the college officers of the last half century or more, such men as Felton, Palfrey, Kirkland, Clarke, Hedge and Norton, besides many less well known...

They only charge six-pence (12 cents) to see the game, and a shilling (your quarter) for the pavilion. Of course, here we would have to make it a shilling admission, and two for the pavilion. How many times do we play a week? Generally twice, on Saturday and Monday, and I can tell you, two good matches in a week are quite enough...
Immediately after the Christmas recess, Captain Hale summoned candidates for the senior crew, and some fifteen men presented themselves. There are no old men among them, and the prospect for a crew is not at present encouraging. The scheme of work of the candidates is the following: At quarter after four the men meet and use the chest-weights for fifteen or twenty minutes. At half-past four they repair to the rowing room, where they are busy until five o'clock. At five they take a fast run of a mile out-of-doors, and this ends their work...
