...will not be impossible to fill, despite the fact that the Freshman team seems to have little to offer. Charley Smith, the Crimson's best sprinter, is only a Sophomore. Lightbody and Joe Donnelly, remain in the 440, and Lightbody and Rolla Compbell in the 880. The mile looks weak.

Nor can the reader so lightly dismiss as a weak-moment confession her confidential opinion that marriage is "extremely disagreeable...
