...cannot, therefore, speak too encouragingly of victory this fall. Andover is trying, with every possible effort, to perfect the deficiencies of their team by constant training and practice. They are said to spend habitually from two to three hours each day at labor with the leather, and, although they fail to meet the average weight of our eleven, they are taking every precaution to excel on those points in which ours display a weakness. From the present standing of the two rival elevens, neither can boast of superiority, and, for the sake of prediction, we proclaim the laurels of victory...
...first each freshman class used, on entering, to studiously keep away from the gymnasium, either from bashfulness or because the men failed to appreciate its advantages, but this order of things has now become changed, as is shown by a glance at the apparatus on any afternoon. In fact, the larger amount of exercise seems to be done by the two lower classes. This is a most gratifying result, and the more so because there is no system of compulsory gymnastics in vogue among us, as is the case at many other colleges.

...some intelligent and sys emetic attention ought to be given in all our colleges to physical culture may be regarded as a universally accepted truth.

Rules that were deemed to he suited to the exigencies of one college were found to be unsuited to those...
...attention of all students is called to the announcement of the committee of the Harvard Union, on another page. They have announced a place where everybody who has not yet voted can do so. This arrangement is an admirable one and cannot fail to draw out a full vote from the college. It is useless to dwell on the importance of obtaining a thorough canvass, and this can only be done if the individuals who have not yet been visited by members of the committee are willing to appear at the appointed place and vote...
Such an invitation as has been given by the Young Men's Republican and Independent Club, (it would be more accurately named Y. M. Democratic C.) is certainly a most preposterous one. We say this indeed, as a Republican, but we fail to see how one of any political party whatsoever can endorse the action of that club. A college class is in a certain sense a unit, and can be employed as such; but it is only a unit by reason of a unanimity of sentiment and action in its members. When, therefore, the individuals that compose it become...
