...Hayes met his voluntary class in Elocution yesterday afternoon for the first time. The large number of men present, almost thirty, shows that interest in this branch of instruction has by no means diminished, in spite of Mr. Hayes' inability to form a class earlier. At the next meeting, Lowell's "Vision of Sir Launfal" will be read, and after that is finished, selections from Fletcher's "Advanced Readings and Recitations." The class will meet twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays at 2 o'clock...

In previous years, '90 has shown more promise of developing a victorious tug-of-war team than in any other branch of athletics, and it would be unfortunate if she now lost her interest even in that direction.

A. would not undertake to hold some runs this spring, it would, I think, be profitable to organize a Hare and Hounds Club which could manage the runs at its pleasure...
During the past year, many new laurels have been won, in almost every branch of record athletics, by members of the various athletic clubs. The colleges have held their own at every contest in which they have been represented, and, although at the Mott Haven meeting last May comparatively few records were broken, the account of the work that was done during the summer, at home and abroad, by college athletes, will have a prominent place in the annals of athletic sports. The leading athletic clubs have divided themselves into two associations, the National Amateur Athletic Association...
