But from the very beginning of the afternoon on Saturday, it was apparent that Harvard was making the best showing, and most of the time a comfortable lead was maintained. In several events the University team did better than anyone would have expected, and throughout, the performances were uniformly excellent.

The chivalrous Devon, Wadsworth, and the gallant Shaw, for although he never graduated he deserves to be ranked among the alumni of this University. When the sergeant, in calling the roll, comes to the name of Latour, his comrades in the ranks salute and answer--'Dead on the Field of Honor.'
