BLODGETT, 87, AND FAULKNER, 87.First round. After a few parries both men went in with a will, and Blodgett got in hard body blows at almost every moment, but was rushed by Faulkner and downed. He was soon up, and after they had sparred cautiously for a few moments with much science time was called...
...this year. Every day thus far the boat house has been thronged with men, watching the different crews. There is always more enthusiasm at this time of the year than at any other, and we trust that it will not die out. Last year a large number of men went to the boat house daily until the nines went into the field, but then as Jarvis was nearer than the boat house they turned their attention entirely to the nine.

First kept in the choir of a neighboring church, it consisted of some 3,500 manuscripts, but in 1623 it was sent to Rome by Tilly, who performed many acts of the same nature. Afterwards it went to Paris, but finally was returned to the mother university, minus many valuable manuscripts, but generally intact. A new library, however, had been formed in the mean time, so that now the two together number about 300,000 volumes and some rare manuscripts. Among the few buildings, for the university...
