...believe that there are men in college who could win in New York who yet never suspect that they have much ability. I wish, therefore, to urge every man who visits the gymnasium to try his powers thoroughly before resting satisfied that he is useless in the effort to regain Harvard's athletic glory. The gymnasium is often empty for those who might dislike observation in their practice. Mr. Lathrop is every ready to help beginners...
...sophomores then proceed to a cross street near the grammar school lot, and form in a solid line, the front rank resting on the inner side of the cross-walk.

But who, may we ask, has a right to maintain private grievances when his duty lies to his college alone? If we are to regain our prestige the strong undercurrent of Harvard life, which exerts, perhaps, no positive, but a strong negative influence upon our athletics must be overcome. A little more insight into the relations of men to one another, a remembrance, occasionally, of that saying of Robert Burns...
