There has been a great deal of energy shown in the tug-of-war teams among the classes. This energy has resulted in arousing the enthusiasm of the graduates. Therefore, after great persuasion, certain members of the Law and Medical Schools have decided to test their respective merits. These men have given careful attention to strict training during the winter. The prizes will be in Bartlett's window during the coming week. The following-named compose the teams as at present selected: Law School - W. H. Cook, '80; J. S. How, '81; C. W. Andrews, '82; A. E. Lane...
...lacrosse men very few out of the large number of desirable athletes chose to come out and practice. This was a great mistake. The simple principles of lacrosse do very much to perfect a player in the points requisite for foot-ball, while they give him a test of speed and endurance necessary for track athletics. One of the most brilliant and successful players of last year's Princeton team owes his preeminence in dodging to his lacrosse training.

At present the single bicycle race at the inter-collegiate games in New York hardly affords sufficient opportunity for all college riders to test their strength. The races at Beacon park will give an opportunity not only for the college riders to compete with each other, each at his own distance, but will also give them a chance to compete with other amateurs. It is hoped that this meeting may be the beginning...
...numerous objections that have been urged against the examination system is that a test of this kind does not give a fair indication of a man's abilities or of the work he has done on the course throughout the year. In a course where nothing but the two regular examinations count, it is possible for a man to neglect his work during the main part of the year, and by a little hard study, just before the examinations, to obtain as high a mark as the man who worked faithfully and regularly on the course. As no one examination...
