...SECOND-YEAR HONORS IN MATHEMATICS. - Class I., O. P. Dexter, '76; M. G. Post, '75; A. S. Thayer, '75. Class II., M. S. Fenollosa, '75. Class III., J. C. Lane, '75; N. Mathews, '75; W. A. Reed, '75; M. L. Willard...
...where there should be eight. The following are the crews: '74, Wheeler (stroke), Harding, Morse, Silsbee, Goodrich, and P. Dana (bow); '76, Otis (stroke), Bacon, Riggs, Nickerson, Green, and Weld (bow); '77, King (stroke), Bacon, Perry, Morgan, Leeds, and Lindsey (bow).

...average scores. The fielding on both sides was very good, as is shown by the small number of byes. Tilden's bowling was very effective, and Hubbard did some very good work; while, on the Albion side, Shepard and Lockhead did great execution among the weak batsmen.

Wheeler's boat drew the inside, but Wetmore gave such a telling stroke as to keep a slight lead up to the boat-house; but in rounding the curve his crew lost, enabling Wheeler's crew to turn the stake first.
