...daily press of the country has been commenting somewhat unfavor ably of late upon the awarding of the Bowdoin prize. This prize is open to any member of Harvard University, and is a reward for the best dissertation upon subjects given by the committee in charge. The facts of the present case are these: A certain member of the Annex tried for the prize and won it. When Prof. Torrey opened the envelope containing the writer's name, and discovered that the lucky winner was a lady, and not a member of the University, he was naturally forced to withhold...
Yesterday's CRIMSON was late owing to an accident to the press. Copies may be procured at Amee's and Leavitt and Pierce...
...conceeded by all reviewers as unqualifiedly successful. "Rankell's Remains," by Mr. Barrett Wendell, was the first to appear. And then Professor Royce's "The Feud of Oakfield Creek" came.

Otherwise it will be anybody's race, Lange being the only fast walker in the Intercollegiate Association. The hurdle race will probably go to Yale, although Mapes, of Columbia, is fast, and will press Berger at every hurdle. Page, of the U. of P., is, without doubt, the highest jumper in the college association, but if he refuses to enter, as is probable, Sherman, of Yale, will be a hard man to beat. Goodwin, Yale, '90, is another good man if his health will...
