ATHLETICS.IT is comforting, in these trying times of Lawn Tennis and utter indifference to all things athletic, to see that there are still a few men in college who have the energy and courage to train for and enter in athletic sports outside the college. The action of Mr. Simmons, '80, in entering and starting in the mile-race at the Y. M. C. A. sports held in the Music Hall, as a representative of this college, is worthy of all praise and imitation. Messrs. Cushing, '78, and Benham, '81, entered in the fencing contest, which Mr. Benham...

Besides, this arrogant committee reserves the right of rejecting any entry! So that a crew on the eve of the race might find itself ruled out, and no reasons assigned. Truly English love of fair-play has been sadly overpraised...
...like Dartmouth, Princeton, etc., would send fours to compete in the other race. Since the disbanding of the Association of American Colleges the smaller institutions have been left out in the cold, and although, doubtless, ready and willing to row, they have found no suitable races in which to enter. Here is a grand chance for reviving college rivalry and rousing the boating interest, which is fast becoming dormant...
