A singular apathy in regard to the whole contest is as apparent as it is wide-spread. Whether or not this apathy is without good foundation will be somewhat tested, we think, during the next few months, and there will be need of our insisting on a fuller discussion of the purposes of these contests, or we may be hurried - as some other colleges are now in danger of being - into participation in a kind of contest where victory...

On comparing notes, our feelings were somewhat relieved on learning that no one had missed a really fair shot, that if they had had a dog they would have secured a large number of birds, etc., etc. The birds, they said, flew with surprising rapidity and a startling noise, and as they had always been told that it was dangerous to carry...
