OW many of the undergraduates of Bulkeley know that we have any track records? In the “olden days” of the last century, between the years 1893 and 97 several fellows from the school held athletic meets at Poquonock. It was during this period that almost all of the school records were made. Since that time there has been two school meets at the armory, in '02 and 05. In the first of these contests the only record which was kept was the one for the eight lap relay, but the time in the ’05 meet was about seven seconds faster, consequently it does not stand as a record. In the ’05 meet the 12 pound shot put was also beaten, and a record for the 35 yard dash was established. Now wouldn’t it be a good idea for the athletic committee to put all the school records on a shield, of course 10
