...would seem as though the athletic question, in all its branches and subdivisions, would never be settled for the members of this university; or, if settled, matters must be so shaped as to give the students the greatest possible trouble and inconvenience. On a recent evening, we are informed, two students took their boxing gloves and went down to the sparring room of the gymnasium. Finding it locked, they applied at the office for the key, and were there told that some one had taken it away, presumably one of the instructors who occupy the room. Being more than surprised...

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: For the benefit of the new members of the university, and of many other members who seem to need information, I wish to say a few words about the Harvard Total Abstinence League. The object of the society is to "discourage intemperance in drinking": not, as many suppose, freshman punches. The idea in the minds of the founders of the league was that in college where there are so many temptations to intemperance, there should be an opportunity given to those who fear the dangers, or wish to add their influence to the cause, of allying themselves...

...particulars Harvard may unquestionably claim superiority over all other colleges in America, in her library and in her gymnasium. Yet, strange to say, of no two things do Harvard men seem less appreciative. The gymnasium and library are both used by a large number of men, but not by as many men as ought to use them. We do not think it necessary to enumerate the advantages of either of these institutions, but we do think that a little urging is not out of place. Different though the institutions are in the ends for which they were built, their benefit...

...night the senior class holds the most important meeting of its four years course. The class day officers to be chosen should be men well fitted to represent the class ably and with credit. The meeting bids fair to be a protracted one, and the indications seem to point to a session lasting well into the morning hours. This state of affairs is easily explained. Eighty-six differs from many former classes in having several men well fitted for the various positions to be filled, and at the present writing it appears as if every office on the ticket...
