...past few days of cold weather bring to mind the need of a place for skating during the winter. The ponds about Cambridge are free from snow during only a small part of the cold season, and even then they are so inaccessible that comparatively few men can afford to spend the time necessary to go to them. If on the other hand, a place were provided near by, and the lce kept in condition for skating the greater part of the winter, it is probable that as many students would engage in this form of exercise as take part...
