...view of the approaching Annual Convention of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association, to be held in New York on the 3d of April next, we should suggest to our own Athletic Association that, owing to the interest attendant on the Tugs-of-war at last Saturday's meeting, Harvard's delegates should be directed to urge the desirability of adding a Tug-of-war to the Intercollegiate programme. The interest evinced in the Class Teams would doubtless have been proportionally greater if the contestants had been representatives of different colleges, and we do not see how it could fail to prove...
...would suggest that, in place of the present Elective Pamphlet, a descriptive book be published, and that, if necessary, a price be charged for it. Every professor could then write a description of his courses. Possibly, it would be a good plan to give "Syllabi" of every course in connection with the descriptive book.

But whether this suggestion is acted upon or not, we see no reason why grievances such as these should recur...
...again. In this connection it must be remembered that the Corporation, which consists of the President, the five Fellows, and the Treasurer only, has nothing to do with the Faculty. To the objection that students should not be called upon to subscribe for plank walks, we suggest again that the amount which they subscribed would be saved in shoe-leather, or in the purchase of a variety of overshoes that has been recommended...
