...trust that the fair visitors who attend the meeting of the Athletic Association this afternoon may be spared such a scene of confusion as seems to be an invariable accompaniment to the tug-of-war contests. Last Saturday trouble was experienced in keeping the men from crowding on the floor, and it was necessary to barricade the space reserved for the teams by benches to keep it free for them Men ought to be especially careful that no crowding or pushing goes on today on the floor, for not only does it make a tedious and disagreeable delay...
...members of the different crews to see the interest taken in their rowing this year. Every day thus far the boat house has been thronged with men, watching the different crews. There is always more enthusiasm at this time of the year than at any other, and we trust that it will not die out. Last year a large number of men went to the boat house daily until the nines went into the field, but then as Jarvis was nearer than the boat house they turned their attention entirely to the nine. We do not believe in giving...
...success of the meetings. In view of this it seems strange that more men have not entered and done their share towards making the meetings successful.

We trust that the succeeding meetings may show a great improvement in this respect over the last one, and we would urge every man who can enter for an event to do so, and so contribute toward making the meetings successful, as we are sure the whole college wishes them...
There are several men in '87 who have thus far not shown themselves and whose records last year on school nines almost warrant them positions. In the course of several weeks the candidates will be measured for the uniforms, and we trust that the men who have thus far hung back will come forward and settle down to steady work. The freshmen can not claim that no interest has been taken in them, for they are watched daily and advised by members of the 'Varsity nine. We have thus far found fault with '87's nine, but we wish...
...example of their instructors does not follow. There is enough good sense in college students generally to dissociate good instruction from faults of character. The trainer seldom influences the student beyond the purpose of his training. The young man does not make a companion of his trainer, nor trust his morals to his direction. A remedy would be to select an amateur athlete from the graduates, educated as a physician, and give him a salaried office, with duties as general adviser and guardian of the athletic interests. Such a man, if properly qualified, would help the students to a safer...
