To-day the Mott Haven team leaves for New York. For six successive years Harvard's representatives have won the cup, emblematic of the championship in inter collegiate track athletics. If we win this year the cup will be the permanent property of Harvard because it will then be impossible for any other college to win it an equal number of times. Harvard's team this year is of unusual strength; so is that of Yale. All of our men who won prizes in New York last year, except Fogg, '85, are still in the team. Besides this there are several new men of exceptional promise. The present outlook is that Harvard will come in first with Yale a good second. We wish the Mott Haven team the success they surely deserve for their diligent work during the winter and spring.

A novel fact in the records of the corporation which have just been published in the May bulletin, seems to have escaped notice. We will simply quote from the records of January 25th.

"Voted, to establish two scholarships with an income at present of $200 each, in the Academic Department, to be called the George Emerson Lowell Scholarships, and excellence either in the Classics or in Athletic contests to be considered as one of the desirable qualifications for candidates." The italics are ours.
