...every one had invitations to more than one of these [spreads], and there was a constant passing to and fro, with a lively interchange of gossip and badinage, which was entered into with zest by both hosts and guests." We are told in another place that "there was the usual rush for the flowers, in which nearly every one received some blossoms, while not a few came off with bruises, which sent them limping off for liniments and bandages." The Seniors who went "limping off for liniments" must have been creations of the reporter's fancy. Sanders Theatre is spoken...
Howe had Carter completely under his sway, making three base-hits and two sacrifice hits out of six times to the bat. Wright, Nunn, and Tyng also batted finely. Thayer and Nunn fielded finely, while Wright and Latham played their bases with their usual perfection. Ripley and Brown did their best for Yale, and played a fine up-hill game.

The "Sewing-Machines," as they are called, proved...
...Everett Athenaeum took leave of their rooms last Saturday evening, and their farewell was made the occasion of a "Strawberry Festival," which was in reality a supper. The usual routine of such occasions was pleasantly varied, and a large number of toasts were responded to. Mr. Gooch was elected toast-master of the evening; and after the past and present officers of the society had been called upon, many of the members also responded, including those of the first ten from '81 who were present. The appearance of Mr. Wheelan and Mr. Redding, who have contributed largely to the success...
