...continue to run on the sidewalks on North avenue. The captains of the various teams have taken action in the matter so far as the men who are training under them are concerned, so that the running of the teams no longer gives cause for complaint. Individuals who are members of no teams, however, still continue the practice which others with more wisdom have given up. Some time ago the deans of both the College and the Scientific School made a particular request that the rules laid down by the team captains should be observed by all runners...
...article which appeared in one of last evening's papers gives cause for complaint. It is extremely offensive to have the name of Harvard connected with detailed sensational stories in which a reporter indulges to fill space or to catch the attention of scandal-lovers. If anything of an unpleasant nature happens in the University, it should be allowed to pass unnoticed by the outside public, or if noticed, should at least not be dwelt upon in exaggerated detail for the benefit of those whom it in no way concerns.

Yale's comparatively recent advance in this branch of athletics is due almost entirely to the faithful work of her teams and coaches...
...There are no public baths in the town. The Gymnasium has a few, but very few. In the CRIMSON I have seen more than one complaint of their deficiency. In this respect Harvard is far behind Yale, whose noble gymnasium is amply supplied. It has been said, and with some reason too, that Harvard has only to make its wants known when a benefactor speedily arises. I trust that the voice of a stranger may reach a rich man's ears and remove this reproach from a great University...
