Hewett, will be of interest: "Harvard University presents certain points of resemblance to the system of the English colleges. By the charter of 1650, which is still in force, the president and fellows of Harvard College became a body corporate, enjoying the right of administering the funds and making all rules for the government of the college, as well as of electing their successors in office.

His time cannot be taken as a criterion of what he is capable of, since in none of the events in which he competed was he pressed...
...weights and on the track. Therefore we take occasion to warn any would-be competitor in the spring sports from discouragement at his failure or success this fall, when these hindrances have labored against him. What we expect now more than anything else is a manifestation of live interest in our athletics, which in the end goes a long way towards assuring success...
