...there seems to be a curious gap in the middle of the list. The history of the golden age of Greece and Rome is taught in the classical electives; the fall of the Roman Empire, and the general history of Europe to Charlemagne, are contained in History I.; the second course extends from this point to the middle of the fifteenth century, while the sixth, the next general course, begins only with the seventeenth century...

The throwing the cricket-ball was perhaps the best exploit of the two days. The winner threw 103 yards 11 feet. A base-ball can, of course...
