...best preserved of all the temples, and represents some very fine decorations. Next were shown some illustrations of the granite quarries from which the materials for the temples were obtained, and the method of quarrying was shown to be precisely the same as that employed at Quincy at present. The island of Philae with its temple of Isis was next illustrated. In this temple no attempt at symmetry was made, and the effect is most pleasing, giving us the most beautiful temple remaining in Egypt. Passing still farther on, various remains of the time of the Ptolemies were illustrated...
Since the beginning of the present school year, when Harvard recorded herself against professionalism and professional trainers in athletics, our sister colleges seem to have redoubled their efforts in the opposite direction. The latest example occurred in the proceedings of the Inter-Collegiate Rowing Association, where a proposition to employ professional coaches was voted down by a large majority. We think that the spirit which favors the introduction of professionalism into college athletics is greatly to be deplored and should be promptly discouraged, as one can easily see to what excesses the custom may be carried.

...names of several old members who have contributed to many victories for Harvard in the past, but who, it is feared, will be unable to play this year. Of the prospects of the nine, it is of course too early to speak with any degree of certainty. From present appearances, it will be composed almost entirely of new men, or men who have played but two or three games. It is crippled at the start by the withdrawal from college of Mr. Bean, last year's pitcher, from whom much was expected in the games next spring. At any rate...
...finally decided that the Metropolitan Athletic grounds, New York, are to be divided into two parts for the use of the two professional nines of the city. An eight-foot fence will divide the two fields at the left field of the present ground. This will be constructed so that when occasion may require - as in the case of a pedestrian match or college foot-ball contest - it can be removed...
