A gallant Harvard sophomre distinguished himself recently in a way that has given him much honorable, but rather unpleasant, fame about the college. It seems that, while escorting a young lady to the theatre one night last week, a drunken ruffian attacked him on Boylston street, at the same time insulting the lady. The student, though much the smaller man, knocked the fellow down, as it happened, into a stairway which led from the street into the celler of a store. The man struck his head against a stone step, was knocked senseless, and, with the aid of a policeman, was sent to the hospital, bleeding copiously from a gash in his head. [Boston Herald.
