Both the principle laid down at the Alumni dinner in 1874 and the policy of the College ever since make it incumbent on Harvard to honor her graduates who fell in the Southern armies (and Mr. Sibley informs me there are many such) in the same manner as she has those who fell in the Northern armies...
...Wiley, '77, then won the prize for exercises on the horizontal bar, performing some difficult feats in a very graceful manner. The lightweight wrestling, between Messrs. Brett and Latham, then took place. The first bout, lasting twenty-five minutes, was spent in manoeuvring to obtain a hold; Mr. Latham finally threw his opponent, after an exciting struggle, in which Mr. Brett had the under-hold.

The Serenade between the two was a decided...
...better, and a new impulse will be given to boating. The Corporation has made no present to the H. U. B. C., but their action is as liberal as could be expected, considering both their own position as to the funds at their disposal, and their knowledge of the manner in which business in general is carried on by undergraduates. We are not and probably never shall be sound financiers, yet there is some little hope that we shall not in the future be as extravagant in boating matters as we have been in the past...
