...this is by outdoor exercise. Now, what the human mind wants in outdoor exercise is recreation, and not work. The Marathon run gives us an example of what men will do who are inspired with an incentive, and some incentive is evidently necessary. It should be our aim then to encourage an interest in all sports and games which do not interfere with college work, and the best way to do this is by competitive sports with other colleges...
...aims and methods of the Illustrated Magazine differ in important respects from those of most of the student publications in the University. It makes no attempt to confine its list of contributors to the College; it deals with subjects of general public interest as well as with intramural matters; and besides literature it seeks to cultivate the art of the illustrator and to practice topical journalism.

He has no time for vacation, for the joys of home life...

But even having this aim especially in view it seems to me we can best attain it by giving proper encouragement to the champions in the sports, and this can only be done by encouraging intercollegiate sport. As I emphatically disbelieve in seeing Harvard or any other college turn out mollycoddles instead of vigorous...
