...committee consisting of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, Mr. George Roberts, Mr. Trimble, President, and Mr. Allen, Secretary of the Club. The language used in connection with this subject by a certain graduate, in reference to a gentleman who has been kind enough to interest himself in our crew's success, was entirely out of place and uncalled for. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Colonel Henry Russell, who has given a voucher of $5,000 of the $10,000, and for Mr. Roberts, who has been very energetic in systematizing plans and securing the needed funds...

The track was in superb condition, and from some of the times made it hardly seems to merit the assertion of being over length. The sports began very soon after 2 P. M. with...
...races were successful, at least in some respects. The records in the 100-yards dash and the 120-yards are far superior to anything ever made at Harvard, and should encourage other men to try and reduce the times of other years. The handicapping was a great success, and tempts us to say that it will be well for the Association to institute handicaps in everything next spring. The officers of the course were: Referee, F. W. Thayer, '78; Judges, S. Butler, '77, H. G. Danforth, '77, R. Trimble, '80, W. Kane, '82; Timekeepers, W. Twombley, '79, and W. Hooper...
