BEAUTIFUL, balmy spring is with us once again; the buds on the trees and the boys in the Yard shed respectively their brown scales and winter clothing, and blossom forth in the freshness of the vernal season. With spring comes the dainty crocus, the dandelion, the wilted collar, and the straw hat, and with the straw hat comes the ribbon. But ribbons at Harvard College are as distinctive a mark of honor as the Cross of the Legion of Honor, and about as hard to obtain. Fired by the noble example of the Crew and the Nine, the various other...
...professional coached the Nine during their winter training in the Gymnasium? If any, were his services paid? Did or did not professionals play on the Harvard Nine in the game with the Worcesters, Fast Day, and against the Bostons, April 10? If they did, were they paid? Out of a University of thirteen hundred students, could no players be found to take the places made vacant by the illness of two of the regular Nine?

...third and last day of the H. A. A.'s Winter Meeting took place on Saturday last, in the Hemenway Gymnasium, and, although very interesting, was not so successful, either in the number of the events or of the entries, as the meetings of the two preceding weeks. The excellent management which has characterized the two previous meetings was again noticeable in the promptness with which the different events followed one another, and gave great satisfaction to a large number of spectators, many of whom were graduates. First on the list came the vaulting (with one hand), for which Messrs...
...made by Mr. A. C. Denniston, '83, on Nov. 1, 1879. Owing to an unfortunate mistake, Mr. Denniston's entry failed to reach the Association in time for him to compete on Saturday as he had expected to. The meeting has been, on the whole, the most successful Winter Meeting ever held here, and the Association deserve the thanks of all members of the University for successful endeavors to promote Athletics at Harvard. The Judges of Sparring were Messrs. H. C. Leeds, '77, V. Stow, '80, and F. Cunningham; and for the other events, Dr. Sargent, and Messrs. Hooper...
