...would be secured. Since the decease of the Harvard rifles, there has been no action by those who are marksmen. If the association prove a success, rifle clubs will be formed in other colleges and an inter-collegiate match may be the result. It would certainly call forth much interest, and would prove an acceptable addition to our other sports...

The simple fact that boxing teaches self-reliance to a boy ought to be recommendation enough to paterfamilias, who should encourage his son to become proficient in the art of "hit, stop and get away." A broken head is soon remedied, but a cold leaden pill or a cruel thrust...
