...near approach of the spring meeting of the Harvard Athletic Association renders energetic action upon the part of its friends absolutely indispensable. The lateness of the season has hitherto precluded out-door exercise to any great extent; there is, however, yet time to practise, and that, too, upon the field on which the contest for prizes will be held, as much depends upon acquaintance with the ground, due allowance for light, and practice in the presence of critical observers, to prepare contestants for the ordeal they must undergo...

The present week, notwithstanding the shiveriness of the temperature, has found the members of the different boating-clubs taking their invigorating pulls on the Charles; and the ball men have again sought Jarvis. This season, however, physical development has another candidate for our interest and favor in the Athletic Association. Last season this association was only in its promising infancy, but now comes before us as an organization ready to do a manly work in supplementing the physical...
