Courses 1 and 2, which are virtually different divisions of the same course, correspond to the Latin course which was originally required of all Sophomores, and which has rarely if ever been intermitted.

Save their bowling, which was accurate and effective, the play of the Mayflowers was poor, and even the portion of our Eleven present should have beaten them. As it was, the Harvard's play in general was miserably weak...
