FOUR men from '83 took highest Second-Year Honors...
...class of '81 has always had a reputation for brilliant scholarship in the Classics. A larger number of Second-Year Honors were taken by its members than had ever been taken before, and no succeeding class has equalled it in this respect. Naturally it was expected that 81's Commencement programme would show a long list of Honors, and a number of Highest Honors assigned. But now the announcement is made, that but one man in the class has received the certificate of Honors of the highest grade. It seems strange that there should have been such a falling...
...Games on Monday last at Mott Haven, Mr. E. J. Wendell, '82, won the 120-yards scratch race in 12 3-5 sec., easily beating L. A. Stuart of the Knickerbocker A. C. Mr. T. J. Coolidge, '84 (8 yds. start), took second in the half-mile run handicap. The race was won by Montgomery (70 yds. start), of the Manhattan A.

...yards run was the first event on the programme, and was won by E. J. Wendell, '82, Harvard. in 10 1/4 sec., J. F. Jenkins, '84, Columbia, being second.

Soren, '83, Harvard, won the running high jump, with a record of 5 ft. 2 1/4 in., Sayre of Columbia taking second place. The mile-run fell to Cuyler of Yale in 4 min. 40 7/8 sec., Thorndike, '81, Harvard, running a plucky race for second...
Mention was made in the last Crimson of the Adagio movement in the second chorus. It is only necessary to add that the episode, ??? (p. 39 of pianoforte score), is, in our opinion, somewhat marred by the introduction of an extra measure. We should have preferred a strict adherence to periodic form. This is, however, a very slight matter, and the chorus undoubtedly ranks with the fifth and sixth, perhaps we should say with the third and sixth...
