...former will be all the better fitted for study, and the latter will be spurred to some occupation. Not the least interesting are two chapters especially devoted to the question of physical education in women, - which is of more importance, perhaps, to the future strength and development of our race than any other. Health is the key to happiness and success, and Mr. Blaikie has here offered us a key to health...
...Yale-Harvard boat-race will be rowed on the Thames River, New London, Conn., Friday, June 27, at 4.30 P. M.

Applications by mail will be attended to at the Crocker House only. A second bulletin will be issued June 23, and a third on the morning...

Yale has a heavy crew, and will be sure to prove a formidable rival; and the interest in the race will be greater than was felt last year, as so much more depends upon the result...
...Freshman race with Columbia is off. Last Saturday the Captain of '82 received an official visit from Messrs. Parsons and Webb of Columbia, the latter being Captain of the Columbia Freshmen. They informed Captain Bartlett that out of the four eight-oared crews in training they had but seven men left, and, therefore, could not possibly row the race. It was suggested that the vacancy in the boat should be filled by a University oar, but this did not meet the approval of the Columbia delegates; the crews have therefore disbanded...
