Only one thing waslacking to make the meet a most successfulaffair and that was—spectators. While thefact that it was held on Friday afternoon andso interfered with pathetic discussions andlaboratory work kept several away, yet therewas not nearly enough of a representationfrom the student body. This is an inter-classaffair and every one who can possibly do soshould attend. It will help students to get acquainted with the schools athletics and unlessyou are acquainted with them, the variousathletic affairs are not nearly so interesting.In the meet, Campbell and Blake were the starsas can be seen from the scores.
