Excerpt from History of the Class of 1911, Yale College, Vol. 1 These Titanic struggles, which took place in a ring encircled by row upon row of excited, derisive, and sympathetic classmates and upper classmen, called forth the ablest gladiatorial talent from both our ranks and those of the Sophomores\ The college walls even now faintly re-echo the wild paeans of conquest with which our triumphant class rent the startled, tobacco-ridden air, when victory folded her airy pinions and alighted on our standards. Bartlett won over Sweeney; and although Livingston lost to Bradley, the mettle of 1911 when first tried was not found wanting, when Bill Prime overthrew Roberts in the final bout. In this victory the class of 1911 had taken the first step in its triumphant march toward the exalted position it later occupied in the college world.
