M. Brooks, '89. Perkins and Swain did not compete. Dudley fell out first, unable to jump 4 feet 6 inches. Brooks was the next to fail, when the bar was at 4 feet 10 3-4 inches.

...would be the winner Saturday. Dr. Appleton, the referee of sparring, could not be found for several minutes. He appeared, however, to call time for the first round.

The poorest scholar, if indeed there were any choice of ignorance in such a club, was made "Vice-Admiral," the commission of "Rear-Admiral," was granted to the laziest man, and the hero of oaths and profanity was decked with the gown...
Great Jove! And can these things be? The yard a lake of raging water, whose billows roll over the unprotected sidewalks, and never a glimmer of light at night to act as light-house on the vasty deep!
