...congratulated. That a class so large, so earnest in society matters, and of such different interests, could harmoniously unite to secure the most open and unbiased election that recent years have shown, seemed almost impossible, and yet it is true. Those croakers who declared that Class Day produced more discord than pleasure, and advocated its abolition, are completely silenced; and all friends of that time-honored institution can quietly rejoice.

The scene created much amusement, as men went hobbling, falling, and crawling over these obstacles. As they approached the finish, it was plain the contest lay between Torrey, '82, and Butler, '77. It was won by Torrey, with...
