There is nothing, of course, to prevent anyone from laying out his work to suit himself, but experience proves that the majority of undergraduates are incapable of spreading it out judiciously, and leave everything until the last minute.

Moreover, our cross-country teams heretofore, some of which have had superior material, have won very few races. We believe that the fault lies with the irregular system under which the sport is carried on, and that a change in the present short-sighted economy of the Athletic Association by which a good coach and trainer may be provided for the cross-country team will be found to be the remedy for non-success...
