...glad to notice that with the advent of spring a new interest in bicycling has been awakened, and a greater proportion of men are seen indulging in this really very beneficial exercise, for who can deny that as exercise it is beneficial? It is true that many physicians object very strongly to the wheel, and prophecy many injurious results that will arise from its use. How true and accurate these prophecies are, all who have ridden a bicycle for any length of time, who have experienced the exhilaration of whirling rapidly along in a manner which seems contrary...
Harvard appears, at any rate, to recognize the bicycle as a health-giving means of progression, and the constantly augmenting number of the bicycle club shows that the interest felt in them is not ephemeral, but lasting.

...late in that journal upon the elective system, seems to have excited an unwonted amount of thought and questionings upon the subject at other colleges, and especially at Yale and Cornell. The Courant calls Prof. Hale's letter "conclusive and convincing." And in consideration of the universal interest and discussion of the question at present, it calls upon the faculty at Yale to make its defence and present its apology for persisting in its present course. It says: "If the time has not yet come for what the News terms 'swinging round,' the time has certainly come when the reasons...
