...house was at the foot of a mountain, built of rough logs (that is, the house, not the mountain), and plainly finished in the Grecian style of architecture. Within were three apartments, two bedrooms and a parlor, in which latter room we did our cooking. I had purchased a gas-stove in San Francisco. This room had two windows, and between was a place just large enough for my Chickering grand, - a pleasant surprise from papa upon our arrival. We had no neighbors within twelve miles. Our one servant was a converted Indian. Instead of scalping after the ordinary manner...
...other department except that of History, while it has been crowded more than ever into the old halls. As nearly all the courses in History are lecture courses, it is of great importance that rooms suitable for lectures should be provided.

The result was that the first contest was not called until after 3 o'clock P.M., instead of 2 o'clock, as advertised, and the last three or four contests had to be run in darkness so great the contestants were totally indistinguishable one from another. Wendell, '82, won the 100-yards and the 1/4-mile run, the former of which, however, he nearly lost, through the track at the start being so loose that he slipped...
...magnificent spurt, and drew up inch by inch on '83. The latter spurted also, but too late, as the Seniors crossed the line a third of a length ahead. Time : '81, 9 min. 4 1/2 sec.; '83, 9 min. 5 1/2 sec. The Juniors came in, without hurrying, about three-quarters of a minute later, Mr. W. A. Bancroft was referee...
