Form Plaque: 1874

The following description was written by John Gregory Wiggins in the June 6, 1929 edition of the Horae Scholasticae:

This year was marked by the first regular track meet on the lower grounds, as indicated at the top of the shield. In the corners are two bibliophiles poring over their books, in memory of the Library Association which came into being at this period. The first double scull race took place in this year, and such a crew is depicted on the lower part of the shield, rowing past the two new boathouses which were also built at this time.
