While the students of the college are quick to take advantage of the lectures given here by non-residents, and generally manage to attend the evening readings given by our own professors and instructors, there was an example of neglect on last Friday which calls for remark. One of the instructors in English kindly consented to give a four o'clock lecture on the subject of descriptive and narrative writing, to which were invited all members of the classes of '87 and '88. Of the five hundred men to whom this invitation was extended, barely thirty thought it worth their...
...most of their weight, and are slow in their movements, though Trafford is playing well and bids fair to make a really good rusher. Woodbury, the captain, is playing end rush at present. He blocks hard and tackles fairly well. Morgan, on the other end, plays a sharp, quick game with a good deal of snap. He is weak in blocking, and labors besides under the disadvantage of being very light. The other two rushers at Southboro were McKean and Newell, though since then McKean has been playing full back. Newell has a bad trick of bunting the man with...

Goodwin, Boston Latin School, L. H. Morgan, St. Mark's, and G. T. Keyes, Nichols' Private School, were elected to the captaincies of the eleven, nine, and crew. The meeting now declared itself adjourned, and proceed to carry the adjournment into effect by making its exit...
...stroke which they use is the same as last year's. The Columbia crew averages slightly heavier than ours; it has four old 'varsity oars, and three men of last year's victorious freshman crew. The stroke which Columbia rows is long and steady, with a sharp, quick recover. Their crew has been at New London since June 8, and has rowed over a four mile course twice daily...
