...after listening to the first in the series, we can only add praise to our previous statement. The subject, "The Function of Great Men in Social Evolution," aside from being of general concern and importance in itself, was treated scientifically, and in a way that gave it peculiar interest. Not the least pleasing part was the seeming ease with which Dr. James met and refuted some of the opinions set forth by Herbert Spencer in his Sociology. The Natural History Society is, we repeat, fortunate in having its course of lectures so successfully and brilliantly opened, and we hope that...
...many years it has been a cause of surprise, if not of regret, to those interested in Harvard, that all attempts to organize a debating society worthy of the place which Harvard holds among American colleges have proved futile. Educated persons are expressing more and more frequently the opinion that the educated should take more interest in the political affairs of the country, and that by their influence and example the tone of our representatives should be raised. It seems most fitting that some elementary training in these matters should come from the University, in the shape of an organization...
...view of the approaching Annual Convention of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association, to be held in New York on the 3d of April next, we should suggest to our own Athletic Association that, owing to the interest attendant on the Tugs-of-war at last Saturday's meeting, Harvard's delegates should be directed to urge the desirability of adding a Tug-of-war to the Intercollegiate programme. The interest evinced in the Class Teams would doubtless have been proportionally greater if the contestants had been representatives of different colleges, and we do not see how it could fail to prove...
...Gymnasium. This does not look very encouraging. Heretofore many able men have not tried for the Nine because most of the places were filled by those whose equals were not to be found; this, however, is not the condition of the present Nine. It is a disgrace that more interest is not shown in this branch of athletics. We propose, in order that more enthusiasm may be exhibited in this direction, that such a revolution be made in base ball as was so successfully made last year in boating. This year's University Crew will be made up almost entirely...
...spring sports to show whether Mr. Clark can do as well on a cinder track. It is not too much to say, however, that Johnson will have to ride much faster next September than he did last year, to retain the amateur championship title. It may be of interest to state that Mr. Clark will probably be in '84 at Columbia, and will prove a dangerous opponent at the Intercollegiate next year, in case a bicycle race is added to the programme, which is more than probable, as Columbia, Princeton, and Harvard, all favor the idea...
