PRESCOTT EVARTS, Secretary.OVER one hundred members of the University were present at the second meeting of the Harvard Union, in Boylston Hall, on Wednesday evening. After a long discussion a Constitution drawn up by a committee was adopted with slight changes. This Constitution is very brief, and provides that all persons connected with the University shall be eligible for membership. The following officers were elected for the remaining half-year: Pres. W. R. Thayer, '81; Vice-Pres., J. G. Thorp, L. S.; Sec., I. Panin, '82; Treas. C. G. Washburn, '80. Committee, F. Warren, '82, G. C. Van Benthuysen...
...Cambridge and Oxford men prepare and train for these athletic contests. At the Cambridge University Sports, on March 9, Mr. E. L. Lucas, Jesus, succeeded in running 100 yards in 10 secs., thus beating the previous English amateur best on record held by Junker by one-fifth of a second, and placing the English and American amateur records at the same figure. On the same occasion, Mr. R. H. Macauley, King's, cleared 5 ft. 9 in. in the Running High Jump, which is better, by three-quarters of an inch, than the record of Conover, of Columbia, made...
...either; but at 5 ft. 4 in. both were unsuccessful, in six trials, and the bar was again lowered to 5 ft. 2 1/2 in., which each cleared easily. On the bar being raised once more to 5 ft. 4 in., Paine succeeded in clearing it at his second trial, while Keene again failed, and the prize was accordingly given to Paine. The highest record at Harvard at this event is 5 ft. 4 1/2 in., made by Mr. Keene on March 4, 1878. This is the fifth event at this meeting in which Mr. Keene has competed, and, although...
...last two meetings. In the first round Heilbron's improvement in style was particularly noticeable, and many of his blows were very effective, while Sharon was not up to his usual form at all, and attempted little else than to parry the frequent leads of his opponent. In the second round, however, Sharon took the aggressive, and proved himself the quicker and straighter hitter of the two, although Heilbron got in some very good returns. The third round was the most exciting of all, each man doing his best to win; but Sharon's finished style and long experience stood...
...contended in the Running High-Jump. The bar was gradually raised from 4 ft. 6 in. to 5 ft. 2 in., without a failure to clear it; but at this height Mr. Sturgis failed, and the cup was given to Mr. Morison, who cleared it very gracefully at his second attempt. This is Mr. Morison's first appearance in the High-Jump, and his graceful and easy manner of jumping shows that he can go much higher with practice. The highest record here is 5 ft. 3 in., made by Mr. A. C. Denniston, '83, on Nov. 1, 1879. Owing...
