...action of the committee on athletics, in requiring that every candidate for any of the crews must know how to swim, again suggests the great need of a swimming bath, where students can learn and exercise this valuable accomplishment. It is well known that, at present, many of the men who try for the crews are unable to take care of themselves in the water, and the liability to accidents is really much greater than is generally supposed.

This afternoon, if the present weather hold off, we shall have a proof of the muscle of '86.

If neither side scores three goals in that time the most goals scored within...

It is needless to comment on the advantages of such a plan, if carried out, over our present poor accommodations, which seemed to be reduced by a fresh slice every year. This will provide us with a perfect ground, large enough for any and all the sports, and will have - what we have always missed both on Holmes and Jarvis - a fence around...
