...scene. The everready Cambridge fire department, represented by an aged man with a leaky bucket of water, promptly appeared and attempted to quench the conflagration. Repeated efforts, aided by a snow-shovel, at last prevailed, and only the charred remains of six once flourishing and prosperous barrels remained to mark the path of the fire-fiend. Late in the night the drowsy slumberer was awakened by the explosion of a belated cracker smouldering in the coals, and uttering its expiring gasp long after its fellows had died their death of glory. Then quiet reigned and all was still...
Perhaps one of the best rules would be that if in case an eleven did not lose the ball between the successive safeties, the ball should be brought out at right angles to the goal line, from the mark of the second safety, and be given to their opponents for a down on the former's twenty-five or thirty-five yard line. This would make the kick-off after a safety almost necessary, but at the same time should this rule be put into effect, the distance from the poles and the position of the ball would probably...
...done. If one were to judge from the Miscellany one must conclude that the tone of thought at Vassar is predominatingly literary and philosophical.

The student immediately rose and gave an interesting synopsis of the preceding lesson, and connected it with the present lesson, with the same spirit that he might have displayed...
...records for our games of this year were startling, almost as much so as the costumes of some of the competitors. The mile run was taken in beautiful style in 5 minutes 22 3-5 seconds. The 220 yards dash was taken at 25 seconds from the six yard mark. The mile walk was won in an easy lope after an infliction of 10 minutes and 25 seconds, heel and toe. Mr. Porter prevented the meeting from being a complete success. He broke the record made by himself at the last inter-collegiate contests in the hammer throwing. The distance...
