...view of the approaching Athletic meetings, I wish to call the attention of all those who intend to enter to the question of apparel. Last year complaint was made by several persons who brought ladies, that some of the contestants were improperly clothed, and, to prevent any further complaint, it may be well to specify what must be worn.

We should refrain from repeating the complaint if we had not understood from various quarters that the custom was increasing. It is difficult to discover the especial object in withholding these marks. If a student has not succeeded in passing a creditable examination, it is evidently of the utmost importance that he should know it, in order that he may bring up his average by closer application...
