The Year 1884, I.

The year 1884 is now a thing of the past, and it is with a feeling of interest that one looks back upon the many events which made the year full of interest to him as a college man. To help the memory, a chronological table of events is often useful, so one for the past year has been prepared. In the record of games, those marked with a * were played for the inter-collegiate championship. Where no specification of the kind of game is made, base ball is understood. Jan. 8.
