There is one branch of our athletic interests which is certainly deserving of our cordial support. The lacrosse team have been faithfully training during the spring, and next Saturday they play the University of New York team. We ask all members of the university to purchase a ticket to the game, and if possible encourage the team by their presence.

Reports from other colleges likewise show that faithful work generally is being done this year in rowing. This is surely the case with us ; and the steady work of our crews should certainly receive more recognition, and they themselves should receive a more liberal support throughout the college than can fairly be said to be accorded them at present. Our winter athletic meetings were certainly...
