...several years past a change has been gradually occurring in physical training at Harvard. As has been shown before, the old system developed simply a few champions, and the little action of the faculty was in the shape of arbitrary rules, passed to render sports subservient to study. Under the new system, commenced with the introduction of Dr. Sargent, the faculty recognized the necessity of exercise holding a place beside study, and to that end have appointed a committee on athletics, who have a general supervision over all forms of exercise.

On the contrary, we have had to restrain some of our athletes from undertaking more intense application to a wider range...
...instructors would do this they could without a great deal of trouble to themselves render a great service to their sections, and prevent the hard feelings sometimes engendered on account of a man's feeling that he has been marked too low, simply because he does not understand the principle upon which his work for the year has been adjudged...
