...Sanders Theatre this evening, the Harvard Republican Club will hold its second meeting. Ex-Gov. John D. Long will preside, and Senator J. R. Hawley of Connecticut will speak on the tarriff. Gov. Long is too well known, to need any introduction, but some words about Senator Hawley may not be out of place. He was graduated in 1847, from Hamilton College, New York, and three years later was admitted to the bar in Connecticut. In 1866, he was elected Governor of Connecticut, and since then he has held many high public offices. In 1872, he entered the House...

On this point the fast growing tendency towards normal instruction in physical training is coming forward to provide the needed material. The new course in physical training in the Lawrence Scientific School, is intended to meet just this need, to educate men to be scientific instructors in the art of developing the body. Such men as these, college graduates, would be best fitted to carry out in a spirit of pure amateur sport, the trust training the men. There would be little...
...most serious part of the work of the nine begins this afternoon. This is, moreover, the portion of the work which is the most interesting to the college. The practice games with the teams from other colleges, not only give the nine the kind of work which they most need, but give also some grounds on which to estimate the true value of the nine. By watching these practice games closely, and by comparing scores, a certain amount of accurate prognostication can be made about the team. And there is nothing that helps a team more than to feel that...
