...needed by the spectators. If a man is accustomed in practice to reach only a certain height, and he is told when jumping in public that he has reached that height, he is certain to be unnerved by it rather than aided. At the Union's recent meeting they refused to tell contestants what the height was, even when they wished to know, and we are sure that inquiry among the men who jump would show that they all were against having the height announced...
SOME of the records made at the recent college sports in England are well worth the attention of our American college athletes, who would do well to imitate the care with which the Cambridge and Oxford men prepare and train for these athletic contests. At the Cambridge University Sports, on March 9, Mr. E. L. Lucas, Jesus, succeeded in running 100 yards in 10 secs., thus beating the previous English amateur best on record held by Junker by one-fifth of a second, and placing the English and American amateur records at the same figure. On the same occasion...
...editorial on Class Nines in a recent issue of the Crimson, and the generous offer by the Advocate of a pennant, to be competed for in a series of games, has been effectual in awakening considerable interest in base ball in the three lower classes.

...recent Bicycle Tournament in New York has brought to light a rider of great promise in the person of Mr. Walter S. Clark, whose performances are really of a most exceptional nature. His first appearance was made on January 17, in the two-mile handicap, in which he was given 350 yards' start; and he won this with such ease that in the second heat of the same race he was put back to the 75-yard mark, but again won, as easily as before. The third heat found him at scratch, and this time he succeeded in making...
...Eliot's treatment of the subject of scholarship, in which open scholarships are strongly opposed and the present system commended. Mr. Arthur Gilman gives the origin of the Annex, and Professor N. S. Shaler a short account of the Natural History Society, while Dr. D. A. Sargent replies to recent criticism on the Hemenway Gymnasium by the press. Dr. B. Joy Jeffries contributes an article on Color-Blindness in Colleges. Professor F. H. Storer vindicates the utility of the Bussey Institute, and Professor Josiah D. Whitney writes at some length on the Museum of Natural History. The anonymous biographical sketch...
