...this time of year, when everyone is in the midst of mid-year examinations, it may seem inopportune to urge men to make an effort to attend the chapel exercises in the morning. The exercises, however, take but a few moments, and come at a time when the short minutes they occupy can easily be spared even at this busy period of the year...

...been quick to see and comment upon our indifference in this direction. Yet Yale has seen the benefit that could result from such a system, and, not to be outdone by us, has also instituted a series of weekly prize contests in high jumping and shot-putting. And it seems as if she would reap great benefit from the plan, whereas we seem to be gaining little or no advantage from it. The cause for this lack of interest and competition seems to lie in the fact that the contests are held on Saturday afternoons. A large majority...

On Saturday last no one appeared for the pole-vault. It may seem that when the spring comes the best work is to be done. This is a mistake. It is the mid-winter training that brings out the winners in the spring contests, and if the Mott Haven cup is to reappear here it will come about by the labors of January...

...very inhospitable manner, and much regret was expressed among those who attended their excellent concert. But matters reached a crisis when a scathing article on their cold reception at Wellesley appeared in the Harvard CRIMSON. It was no doubt just, but slightly inconsiderate. The Sodality do not seem to remember that they came, not on the invitation of the college, but on that of the Tennis Association, and that a very limited number of this association, without consulting its officers or revealing their plans to any one, took the management of the concert into their own hands, and caused that...
