...getting a fair start, but when the word was finally given both teams came down with an even drop. By repeated heaves the ribbon was brought over to the '86 side, and at the end of the first minute this team was three inches to the good. This lead was increased to four inches at the end of the second minute, and five inches at the end of the third. At this point the seniors made a desperate rally, and got back some of their lost rope, so that at the end of the fourth minute the juniors had only...

Stenography is a great aid to thorough note-taking; and if the colleges would only offer some instruction in stenography no one can estimate of what value it would be to the students...

We have always supposed that whatever was Yale could not be Harvard, and whatever was Harvard could not be Yale. This supposition has given us both joy and sorrow. The latter feeling has been especially prominent in athletics, and the way in which athletics should be supported. Yale enthusiasm, and Harvard indifference have formed the two pictures which have been so often placed side by side, that the comparison might be the more marked by the just opposition...
