Yesterdays Herald gives more than a column to "Harvard Athletics" for 1885. The achievements of nine, crews, lacrosse and cricket teams, tennis players, and class elevens are carefully reviewed. The article closes with the following on general track athletics: "In general track athletics good work has been done. Records have been freely broken in the mile walk by Bemis, '87; in the two-mile bicycle race by Dean, '88, and the quarter and half-mile runs by Wendell Baker, '86. Mr. Lathrop is doing good work as a trainer and general director, and the results are surprising. For the sixth...
...marking system, and they can be eradicated, in some degree, by changing the system. A grading of courses, so that marks received in the harder courses will receive their proportionate weight on the average mark; use of numbers instead of names on the examination books; grading of students by general classes instead of by exact numerical values, all of these are possible improvements over the present system.

The Dining Association in particular, which may be regarded as an investigating society sui generis, has increased in numbers.

That this year's Index is a success cannot be denied. To Mr. D. B. Chamberlain, '86, the editor, the thanks of the college are certainly due for a neat and well compiled volume...
...opinion of impartial spectators the general playing of Yale was much superior to that of Princeton. Princeton's goal was in danger nearly all the time during the first half; and it was owing to an unprecedented combination of circumstances that Yale failed to score two or three goals. On the other hand Yale's goal was in danger only once, excepting the one time when the lucky run of Lamar secured Princeton a touch-down. The playing of Princeton during the first half was disorganized and lacking spirit. In the second half she improved considerably, but even then Yale...
