...promptly at 2.30, with the two-mile bicycle race, by H. Merrill, '90. the only entry, ridden to break the record of Dean, '88, 6 minutes and 28 seconds. The first mile was 3 minutes and 12 seconds, just two miles, 6 minutes and 31 seconds, just three seconds slower than the previous record. This is a great improvement over the record made last fall. The runners in the first heat of the 100-yards dash were J. W. Merrill, '89, H. R. Miles, '88, E. C. Stowell, '88, G. S. Mandell, '89, There was a close brush...

The sharp corners of the running track in the gymnasium do not allow very fast work, but every day the spinters cover three or four laps at a good rate of speed. The distance men run further and slower; quite fast enough, however, for some of the newer candidates. Lately the track on Holmes field has been covered with a smooth coating of ice, and on mid-days the runners with their spiked shoes have found it a good place to practice. Good time has been made...

Bradner, Jr., '89, are about the only men now working at the half-mile run. Both get around the track at about a 2.08 gait. It is just seven and one-fifth seconds slower than the inter-collegiate record, however...
...interesting change in the new faculty regulations is one which, though it received comment in our review, deserves more than passing notice. We refer to the abolition of the old and time honored warning and the substitution of the slower, but far more dreadful, admonition. No longer can a student depend for mural decoration upon the attractive cards issued by the faculty. No "prayer" or other warning shall steal upon a man and cast a temporary gloom over his existence. But, after we have been lulled into indifference of the faculty dynamite stored beneath us, suddenly the explosion comes...
