These last few unfortunates were supposed to glean as much knowledge from the reading of parts of the various theses, as days of research...
...meeting of the lacrosse team last night it was decided to protest the recent Yale-Harvard game, and the following committee was appointed to draw up grounds of complaint: Davis, '83; Noble, '84; Marquand, '85. Mr. Noble, '84, was elected captain for the ensuing year...
