...afternoon. Monday, Christmas Day, was spent in the capital and all who had never been there before had a good opportunity to see the principal sights before they left. A few of the men went to Mt. Vernon during the day. In the afternoon a tea was given in honor of the clubs by Mrs. John G. Walker. The concert in the evening was one of the best given during the trip, and Mr. Wilder's Hawaiian song with its political hits was very enthusiastically received...
...standing at the time of his first appointment, and may hold the fellowship for three years by annual re-election. The Thacher Memorial Fund of three thousand dollars is mentioned for the first time.

...finest outburst of enthusiasm, the finest evidence of affection for the University, ever given in the form of cheering. Nothing is more touching, nothing more stirring to the sturdy, manly side of college men's natures, than the parting with classmates and fellow-students who go to uphold the honor of their college in contests like these football games. On no occasion in the course do class and society lines disappear so utterly, to be replaced by sympathetic union of heart and voice. And all this means quite as much to the team as to those who cheer. The thrill...
