...said I to myself, as I looked down upon the throng below, 'is a resting-point in a man's life, - a day which makes him forget to think about the future, and leads him to look back upon the years that are gone. And who can look back without a pang? who can recall, without bitter regrets, the pleasant days and kind faces that he has known? Ah! fair Class-Day revellers, your mirth only saddens me, and I turn from your beautiful faces to those which revisit me out of the gray past...
...true that the few who do devote time to athletic exercises are sometimes injured by them, but this very fact shows the great need of a professor of hygiene in the College. Under the instruction of such a professor men would not attempt to enter athletic contests without a suitable amount of training, and "English" trainers might be dispensed with. Again, many who cannot be induced to exercise at present might find it worth while if they could have good instruction, and thus the number of "hot-house" scholars might be reduced.

Amherst has in the past fourteen years done much, under the able leadership of the devoted Dr. Hitchcock, to improve the physical (and with it the moral) well being of the college students; but a man single-handed, with no very good gymnasium or apparatus, and without the pecuniary resources Harvard can command, cannot do what might easily be done in the Hemenway Gymnasium, if only the authorities might be induced to take the wise course...
