...Corporation, taking the matter out of the hands of the Faculty as well as the Class itself, have put an end to petty disputes, and a programme (of a somewhat mongrel nature, to be sure) has been arranged. The morning is to be occupied with a single event, interesting only to those immediately concerned, - the breakfast given by Mr. Lowell to the graduating class. The outside world will not be expected to make themselves visible until three in the afternoon. At that hour the favored fair will be seated on the soft boards which surround Holmes Field, and they will...
...publish in another column a comparative table of athletic sports, from which it will be seen that we were beaten in every event, except the three-mile run, a race which was on but one other programme. Undoubtedly, the fact that Jarvis had not been in a condition for use has much to do with the poor showing in athletics Harvard makes this year; but we hope that the comparison, so unfavorable this year, may be changed next spring, and that the Athletic Association may again meet with the success which it once...

YESTERDAY being Washington's Birthday, the event was celebrated by examinations in the morning and afternoon. We have always objected to this day being passed over in silence by Harvard College, and it is probably owing to our former remonstrances that the Faculty have chosen this neat and inexpensive manner of celebrating an event to which we all look back with pleasure. We have always been taught to emulate the Father of his Country, and an especially good opportunity to do so was given yesterday. As he was in the habit of cutting apple-trees, we might have cut examinations...
...event of the season at Cornell was the Navy Ball. The committee fully met the heavy responsibility cast upon their shoulders by providing "good music, a nicely crashed floor, and a good supper." "The ladies threw their sweeping trains in graceful curves, conscious of an admiring eye over yonder in the corner, while the gentlemen, perfectly overcome by this generous display of gracefulness for their own special benefit, now also make a desperate effort to appear graceful, causing a smile of pity on the faces of the ladies." Conscious curves would cause a smile of incredulity on even Mr. Tyndall...
