Although we shall probably feel the loss of a trainer more this year than in any previous year, the association is taking the right steps to obviate the difficulty, by promising to have its stewards on the track at certain hours of the day to instruct any one who may need their assistance. As one more victory will put the cup forever in our hands, we hope the efforts of the association and the hopes of the college will meet the success which they deserve...
...News quotes the example of the foot-ball teams. If we mistake not, the '86 game was to have been played in New Haven, but having been postponed, it was at length found necessary to play it at Cambridge, if at all. Last year it was Harvard's right to have the game played here. Our eleven, or our nine have not "been afraid manifestly to leave the friendly shelter of their walls, even to play on neutral ground."

The presence of wet umbrellas in the hall has always been a nuisance, and the directors are to be congratulated on this much needed...
...Executive Committee of the tennis association has decided to abolish the right which has hitherto existed only by courtesy to the private ownership of courts. The association will take charge of the marking, etc., of courts, and all members will have a right to play on any court as soon as they have paid an assessment of fifty cents, which must be levied in order to meet the expenses of marking. No one will be allowed to play on any of the grounds of the college till this assessment has been paid. The association will give orders to have...
