Instead of decreasing, as time goes on these reports seem to be multiplied, showing that the non-training members are not settling down to hard work as they should.

The freshman maximum physics paper was unusually difficult, and naturally about one-half of the section failed. Some...
...boxing, wrestling and fencing good men are always leaving, and, to keep up the standard, new men should come out. New entries are particularly needed for the horizontal bar and for tumbling. For the last two years, that is ever since the institution of the prize, three men have competed for the prize in general excellence, though there have been many other men in college who would have made good contestants in all the events. We hope to see this year a larger number of entries for this prize...
