...other events, the Mile Run has a fair number of representatives; and last year found more men than usual in the 1/4-Mile Run, and the 100 yards, though in this latter a lack of sufficient training and preparation was most obvious. In the Mile Walk we have only one man to look to, and should he become in any way disabled just before an important meeting, we should have absolutely no one to take his place. The same may be said of the 220 yards' Dash, and the Standing High Jump...
...every day on the track, that the efforts of the Athletic Association to promote the interest of our field sports have not been thrown away. At any rate, let us all have the satisfaction of feeling that, if the cup goes elsewhere next year, it will not be for lack of earnest endeavors and conscientious work on the part of every man who feels now that he could do something in athletics if he would only conquer his laziness and work...
WHEN the Crew are on the river they complain of the lack of interest in the College at large, and wish that more men would go to see them row.

During our long silence the most prominent athletic meeting which has been held was that of the Manhattan Athletic Club on Thanksgiving Day, in which connection we cannot pass over the wonderful running of Myers, the champion in the 100-yards handicap, without comment. Starting from scratch, on a track covered with snow, he finished only two inches behind J. B. White, Manhattan Athletic Club (4 yds.), the time taken by the slowest...
...relations of instructors to students have been frequently discussed, but rarely to the advantage of the former. Instructors, it is assumed are invariably as stiff as Prussian grenadiers, and as frigid as icebergs. That there is a lack of cordiality between instructor and student cannot be denied; that much of this is due to the instructor must also be admitted; but that the whole is due to him is not true. Last year a professor who taught four courses, each taken by some 50 or 60 men, repeatedly extended invitations to his pupils to call on him. For this purpose...
