...rifle practice are discussing the plan of forming a Harvard Rifle Association. Where or when they will practice is as yet undecided. The plan seems to be a good one and undoubtedly a good membership would be secured. Since the decease of the Harvard rifles, there has been no action by those who are marksmen. If the association prove a success, rifle clubs will be formed in other colleges and an inter-collegiate match may be the result. It would certainly call forth much interest, and would prove an acceptable addition to our other sports...
...devotees of this popular game are eager to embrace every possible chance to play. The fact of this renewed interest again calls attention to the Tennis Club and the disputes of last fall. Not only are the policy and rules of the association matters for immediate action, but another question presents itself for serious consideration-that of the conflicting claims of the club and the men who play tennis but have not joined the association.

...cases who shall direct and advance the work and methods used. Last year several conspicuous additions were made to the classical department, and the example set in this respect might be profitably followed in the other departments where there is perhaps a more urgent necesity for immediate and decided action. With the death of Professor Peirce, succeeded, however, by Professor Byerly, and the retirement of Professors Hedge, Peabody and Dunbar, and the absence of Professors Cooke and Nash, it will be seen that a serious number of vacancies in important departments present themselves for the consideration of the appointing powers...
...extended from one hour a week to a two or three hour elective. The field for work in it is large enough to call for such an extension, and increased advantage and popularity would certainly attend such a measure. It is to be hoped that some favorable action of this kind may be taken by the faculty for next year. The importance of the course calls renewed attention to the need of a similar one in the French department, where little or no provision is made for exercise in composition, although the need of it is great and urgent...
