...Yale College is received with almost universal surprise. The announcement, accompanied as it is by no explanation as to the proposed action, has caused great discussion, and the hope is expressed upon every side that Dr. Porter will be induced to reconsider his resignation. It will be a serious blow to the college to lose the services of its present head, and few gentlemen can be found who will quite fill his place. The scholarly president whose work for his college has made it a power throughout the country, can feel assured that his labors for the past fourteen years...
...attention from the outside press. Yet the catastrophe of last night is the most serious that has be-fallen the college since our worthy yard watchman found a piece of wire-wound broomstick with a firecracker inserted in one end, and promptly reported the authorities a diabolical plot to blow up the dormitory buildings of the college. If matters do not make an immediate change for the better, it will not be many moons before the entering classes will begin to show a serious falling off in numbers.

FEATHER-WEIGHT SPARRING.F. P. Clement, '88, H. D. Cheever, '88. Clement led off for Cheever's head but his blows were dodged by the latter, who got in a round shot on Clements' body.

LIGHT-WEIGHT SPARRING.First bout, E. L. Blossom, '88, and S. Coolidge, '86. Coolidge led off with his left, but his blow was returned by Blossom for the body. Blossom rushed his man and soon got in a right-hander which sent his opponent to the floor. When time was called again, Coolidge was rather groggy. Blossom, however, went at him as fiercely as before, and by hammering him with his right, succeeded in knocking him out, thus winning the bout...
Second bout, F. P. Clement, '88, and E. C. Wright, '86. Clement led by planting his left and right on his opponents body. These blows Wright returned by stooping down and planting several blows on the top to Clement's head. Clement did some good dodging, but was unable to reach Wright's head, owing to the latter's superior height. In the second round, Clement led off with his left, following it up with his right, for his opponents head. Both men then got in several quick blows and appeared pretty evenly matched. In the third round Clement made...
