Yale comes next, sending five men. Then comes Oberlin with two men, and each of the following list has sent one representative, Princeton, Williams, Cornell, Hamilton, University of Michigan, Wesleyan, Mt. St. Marys, Drake University, National Normal University, Notre Dame, Howard University, and the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. Several Harvard, '85 men who were expected to swell the size of the class, have either gone...
