Field day passed off quietly, without any occurrence worthy of special note. Interest in boating, if not dead, is quite soundly sleeping, but will doubtless revive when the completion of the gymnasium affords opportunity for practice during the winter. Base-ball is monopolizing the enthusiasm of the athletes and students generally, especially since the victory over the Syracuse Stars.
