About 6000 friends of the tony 7th regiment gathered in the vast armory this evening to witness the 10th annual games between members of the regiment. The games began with a pistol shot at 8, and thereafter, until toward midnight, the sound of the pistol scared the air with admirable frequency and persistence. The games were all well conducted, and some of the events were exciting, notably the bicycle races and the mile walk, but the greatest interest centred on the tug-of war. In this, three colleges were represented - Harvard, Columbia and the City of New York. Yale...

This mishap, however, turned out favorably for the Glee Club as they got the ball and Merrill scored another touchdown from which no goal was kicked. The Pierian now started in to play, and the quarterback made some frantic...

Is its true explanation here? Has all this constant enlargement of its life been moving toward the great truths of the goodness of God and the sublime capacity of man. It must be so. Our progress of these two centuries and a half would be a terrible mockery if it was not so; if, whether we are conscious of it or not, we had not been...
