...several years past a change has been gradually occurring in physical training at Harvard. As has been shown before, the old system developed simply a few champions, and the little action of the faculty was in the shape of arbitrary rules, passed to render sports subservient to study. Under the new system, commenced with the introduction of Dr. Sargent, the faculty recognized the necessity of exercise holding a place beside study, and to that end have appointed a committee on athletics, who have a general supervision over all forms of exercise.

Is it not, then, obvious that on no account could an apology be expected of Harvard when...
...satisfactory or not. If they are, word should be immediately sent to the studio; if not, it is hoped that they will lose no time in making other sittings. Appointments may be made either through the undersigned or at the studio. The committee cannot too strongly urge prompt action on the part of all, so that the work may be finished within the specified time...
