...consideration of the universal interest and discussion of the question at present, it calls upon the faculty at Yale to make its defence and present its apology for persisting in its present course. It says: "If the time has not yet come for what the News terms 'swinging round,' the time has certainly come when the reasons that lead to our keeping on in the course should be made known. Other colleges, and Harvard in particular, assert their system to be the most advantageous." It seems to be only a question of time when Yale and every other ultra-conservative...
Speaking of the social delights of Harvard College students, a Cambridge correspondent of the Providence Journal is made to say : "Life was a round of pleasure, a constant succession of parties, sermons, receptions, five o'clock teas, and similar mild dissipations." It is reasonable to suppose that the correspondent wrote "germans" and not "sermons." - [Times, N. Y.] Without the correction the description is more near the truth...
...most anxiously awaited event of the evening was the final bout of the Middle Weight Sparring contest between Lee, '83, and Page, '83. Both men appeared in excellent trim, Page looking especially fine, but both seemed afraid of one another, and very few blows were given in this round.

At one time, having shown a strong desire to "slug" one another, the men were promptly hissed. Page...
...final bout of the Light Weight Sparring was fought by Spalding, '82, and Butler, '83. The first round was very exciting.

In this round Spalding got in some good work, and by rapid and forcible hitting succeeded in confusing Butler to such an extent that the latter hardly knew where he was striking. In the third round Butler seemed...
...Lowman and Heilbron contested the final and only bout immediately after the standing high jump. Heilbron had the slight advantage of being the taller, but Lowman was very plucky, and succeeded in reaching the face of his taller adversary very forcibly. In the first part of the second round Lowman was floored by a well-directed blow on the temple from Heilbron. After this Lowman sparred more cautiously, and made several good blows. In the third round both men came up to the scratch smiling and did some very good work on each other's faces. The bout was awarded...
