...example of the ordinary work done by the Oxford athletes, we may quote some of the records made at the recent Christ Church College sports, records which it will be interesting to compare with those of American colleges. These were: 100 yards, 10 3-5 sec.; 1/2 mile, 2 min. 2 sec.; mile, 4 min. 45 sec.; 1/4 mile...
...recent reappearance of Mr. Robinson in Cambridge has again awakened the desire of undergraduates to have him returned, if possible, to assist in the athletic sports this spring.

...glad to join the Crimson in some explanatory statement of the condition of affairs relating to the Political Economy department. Through a Harvard letter in a recent number of the Boston Advertiser a rumor was set afloat to the effect that this department of the university was to be weakened both in the number of courses and professors. Owing to financial reasons, our faculty entertained the hope that Prof. Dunbar, on his return next year, would be able to conduct the three course that are now given. President Eliot never shared this hope, and realized that although Prof. Dunbar would...
