...first event was a one-mile run, in which A. L. Lowell, '77, and C. James, '79, were the only starters. James took the lead, and kept in advance until the end of the second quarter, when he was passed by Lowell, who won the race in 5 min. 2 1/2 sec. Mr. Lowell then mounted the judges' stand, and, after receiving his prize, - a magnificent silver tankard, - leaped from the stand to the ground, and disappeared in the crowd amidst loud shouts of applause. The next event was a one-mile walk between Green, '76; Taylor, '77; and Legate...

Then the themes and forensics are sufficiently numerous, in the last three years, to allow the student on the average only four weeks to compose each one, which is certainly by no means too long for those who have acquired no great facility in arranging their ideas. These are all carefully...
...foul" crying and the friendly "hints" with which the Tufts umpire encouraged his men. The third half-hour was closely contested, and the crowd were on tiptoe with excitement. The elevens seemed to gain strength from the enthusiasm of their friends, both sides fighting like tigers. The ball was run up and down from one goal to another, Wetherbee of the Harvards making two beautiful runs.
