...abandonment of the "fine old lung" cheer (Hurrah), and its adoption of this "mouth-cheer, without either force or dignity." This brings out better several answers in strong support of our present cheer. The arguments or impressions of the writers are hardly interesting, except from what they say of the origin of the "Rah!" cheer, as follows: "In 1864 the college turned out, probably for the first time, in the campaign torch-light procession in support of Lincoln.

Track athletics, strange to say, have taken a temporary boom, in view of the fact that the management have secured the huge skating rink for practice.

O'Rourke, who is in the Yale Law School, is coaching the candidates again this year. His work told last season, and there is good reason to believe that his services are still of much value. He himself says that the nine have remarkably good prospects for a successful season. The old superiority which Harvard has held at the bat bids fair to disappear from Cambridge, only...
