...College Courses" affords racy reading. We can imagine the reader sitting with the elective pamphlet in one hand saying, "Who is it that gives Abyzsinian 29 which is conducted in an insipid way, although the lecturer has great ability?" We wish that we could hope that instructors might profit by the exceeding multitude of conflicting counsels: "When he cried, 'Steer to starbord, but keep her head to larbord,' What on earth was the helmsman...
...will be the presence of a number of gentlemen of color, who will endeavor to dodge any missiles which the Seniors may wish to throw. A hearty feast of sea-food and fruits in season will be then consumed by the ravenous picnic party, who will finally wind their way back to Cambridge sadder but wiser...

Watson '10 qualified for the finals in the 220-yard dash and added the final point to Harvard's score by taking fourth in the last event of the day.

Paull seemed perfectly fresh, notwithstanding his record-breaking race in the mile earlier in the day. In all probability he could have beaten Beck and established another record, but he made no attempt to take better than second. On the final stretch he carefully gauged the distance between himself and French of Cornell, taking care to keep just out of reach. French in turn...
