After you have seen him and laid him out, * all that remains for you is pleasant and profitable. You had better go to that amusing apothecary, Hubbard, whose droll advertisements you have read in the Lampoon, and take a glass of plain soda-water; it is more exciting than milk, and not so strong as ginger ale, and you may take it without fear of inconvenience. If you have any practice in such things, you may take a mild cigarette (those used for catarrh are very innocent), and it may induce the careless outsider to take you for a Sophomore...
That this is not all imaginary will be seen by all those acquainted with the persons to be named in this connection; but others could be proposed, doubtless, equally able to fill these two positions to the credit of Harvard and the immense advantage of most of her students, who are very far from having the healthy, robust, clear appearance young men of their age should present. Dr. Sargent of New York, a thoroughly educated physician and a gymnast with few equals, has devoted himself to exercise instead of drugs in the practice of his profession, and is meeting with...

Of the five crews...
...shores of the lake, and by 5 o'clock about two thousand people had assembled. There were about sixty or eighty Harvard men present, and Yale men were conspicuous chiefly by their absence. At 5.05 P. M. the signal was given for the contestants to appear. Livingstone was soon seen pushing off from the float of the Quinsigamond Boat Club, and only a few minutes elapsed before the Harvard representative pulled up from O'Leary's boat-house and took his position at the start. Livingstone had the choice of positions, and took the east shore, which gave him little...
