...third and last day of the H. A. A.'s Winter Meeting took place on Saturday last, in the Hemenway Gymnasium, and, although very interesting, was not so successful, either in the number of the events or of the entries, as the meetings of the two preceding weeks. The excellent management which has characterized the two previous meetings was again noticeable in the promptness with which the different events followed one another, and gave great satisfaction to a large number of spectators, many of whom were graduates.

The Advocate has urged those who have "enjoyed the bounty of scholarships" to pay off part of the obligation by contributing to the College Fund. It seems to us, however, that a man who has held a scholarship...
