...their minds by a fixed time or be shut out entirely. The Sophomore class made a very small show on the programme, and still worse in the field; entering only five men out of thirty, which certainly is not their proper proportion. We hope they will feel the College expects more from them, and we shall all look for them carefully in the next meetings. The Freshmen have reason to be satisfied with themselves, and we with them, being the winners in six events out of ten. They appear to be an athletic class, and from some of them...
