...Sanders was well repaid by the lecture, which was the most graphic and life-like of the whole Civil War series. The lecturer opened with a brief sketch of the commanders of the opposing armies which fought in the campaign he described, Gen. Thomas the Federal commander, and Gen. Hood of the Confederates. The outcome of this campaign, which lasted from October to the end of December, 1864, was of the greatest importance, for Sherman had cut loose from the north on his march to the sea, the presidential election was approaching and only scattered bodies lay between Hood...

Mr. Macdonald acted as referee, and Atkinson, '85 and Crocker, '85, as umpires. At the beginning of the first half the Unions kept the ball near Harvard's goal. But were prevented from scoring by good playing on the part of Easton. Finally Bradford secured...
