...most exciting event of the evening was the Harvard-Yale team race which was looked forward to with no little interest by all. Yale was well represented and each college cheered heartily as her men began to prepare for the event.

As many college men know, though only imperfectly, the Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophoces was presented in Sanders Theatre in the spring of 1881.
