HARVARD RECORDS.

As Saturday and the annual spring meeting of the athletic association draw near the interest in the races and other contests increases. Not by any means the least important question arises of what records will be made and how they will compare with those of former years made by Harvard Athletes. The H. A. A. dates back to 1874 and ever since that time improvements have been steadily going on. Greater ability to do well is, as a rule, shown by the contestants each year, so that scarcely a season passes without some one breaking a record and thus having his name inscribed upon the tablets in the "meeting room" of the Hemenway gymnasium. It is from these, with sundry additions, that the following list has been compiled. As the number of events and names under each is large, it has been found best to divide them and print part at a time. Below are the records in the various races.
