The crews were well matched. As they spurted along, side by side, with the oars rising and falling in measured stroke and with great regularity, they formed a very pretty sight, which was enjoyed by hundreds of spectators from the boat house and the river banks. These crews, except a stroke oarsman for each eight, had been drawn...
...sent off by the timekeeper, Mr. F. Remington, '87. Seven minutes later the hounds eleven in number, with Brandt, '85, the master of hounds at their head, started in pursuit. The scent lay across the common, up Concord Avenue, over fields and fences near the Cambridge reservoir, and then along the south end of Fresh Pond.

The graduates will sit from the southeast corner towards the entrance. After the cheering the seniors will form two rings around the tree, the juniors two rings outside of them; the sophomores, two rings outside of the juniors, and the freshmen one ring outside...
...still a third class who have made no fixed choice. Now, when Tom, who intends to enter Princeton at some future day, comes to be examined in Latin or mathematics, some of his friends who intend to go elsewhere, or who have made no choice, will probably come along. And as they have about the same stand as Tom, they may take a partial examination also. It is readily seen that, in nine cases out of ten, they will finally come for good. Moreover, the boy who has passed a partial examination will go back to his school with...
