...Harvard-nobody knows just why-which it would be well to do away with as soon as possible; and among these "antiques" there is none perhaps which needs attention more than the ringing of the "rising bell." There seems to be absolutely no reason why it should be rung day by day, except the fact that it has been rung each morning from time immemorial, while there are many reasons for silencing its loud-sounding tongue until chapel time. It is first not a rising bell for most, if for any, of the students; it is an annoyance, not only...
...will be governed by the following rules: "Contestants will be notified before each event and must be on their marks promptly, or the event will be started without them."

Yet a moderately strong man at dumb-bells will push up one weighing over half his own weight, and some men have managed...
...more care were used at Memorial to see that the bell for chapel is rung on time, much inconvenience would be avoided. It is very disagreeable to rush over to chapel and find the doors closed, or else just succeed in getting in, breathless, all because some one forgot to give proper notice. Such a blunder, while but a slight one, is yet almost inexcusable in its nature and we trust there will be no repetition...
