CLASS DAY, or the mutilated affair which took the place of that ancient rite, was a success. The day itself was perfect, - no heat, no dust, no rain. The Seniors seemed to be bound that the quality of the amusement should make up for the quantity. The sensations in the morning were rather singular; sharing in expectancy of something to come, the missing of something that was not, and a general feeling of lie-on-the-grass laziness taking precedence of all other emotions.

The first athletic meeting ever held at Harvard was a private affair, got up by a few members of the class of '74, with Mr. Benj. Curtis at their head, in June of that year. This led to a regularly organized association, which met on Jarvis Field in October of 1874, under the auspices of the then Senior class. The great interest shown...
