...have been taken from the tablets. It is hard to believe that anyone could have so little respect for the honored dead as to commit such an act; but that a Harvard man should steal from the hall, erected in honor of the brave sons of Harvard who fell in the war for the Union, the emblems which were there left as a token of respect for their grand sacrifice, seems incredible. But such is the case. The act may have been done thoughtlessly, and doubtless was, in the zeal to obtain trophies for the walls of the students' rooms...
...first; two miles without hands, F. F. Ives, 6m. 39s.; one mile, 3.10 class, E. A. Hoffman, 3m. 7 1 5s.; 20 mile, Pope cup, D. E. Hunter, 1h. 14m. 5s. In this last race, by an unfortunate accident, H. S. Kavanaugh took a header and Hamilton and Hunter fell on top of him. Kavanaugh was considerably bruised and Hamilton quite severely injured. Hunter quickly mounted his bicycle and finally won the race...

Score, 9 to 0 against Princeton...
...failing was a tendency to make too many pauses in a sentence, as if the young speakers felt the need of a certain start before making an emphasis, on the reculer pour mieux sauter principle. The lack of by-play was striking, albeit natural, and almost all the participants fell into the error, common to all American -born amateurs, of looking preternaturally solemn-as if the destinies of the stellar system weighed upon their shoulder-when they had nothing to say. Yet there was no sign of carelessness; every movement and position seem to have been well studied out beforehand...
