...miserable weather and the poor condition of the track, all of which tended to dampen the spirits of the contestants, the athletic meeting of last Saturday was eminently successful. Had it not been for the attendant circumstances of the day, the time made and distance covered in the various competitions would undoubtedly have been better, but even as it was the H. A. A. have good reason to congratulate themselves upon the breaking of two records. The running in the half-mile race was such as any college might point to with pride, and the record made in throwing...
...running track, the cricket crease, the lacross field and the tennis nets in both fall and spring would quickly convince any one that physical exercise at Harvard is by no means confined to a favored few. The estimate of $25,000 as the yearly cost of the various college contests must also in some way be misleading. Certainly track athletics more than pay for themselves. The receipts of the baseball nine from their various match games go far toward paying their season's expenses, and it is my impression that the football team and the lacrosse team are in much...
...lockers, and they were not always used. In 1880 there were 474 lockers in the new gymnasium, and now there are 1049 all in use, with a demand for at least 50 more. Dr. Sargent tells me that there are 400 students actually in training, more or less, for various athletic teams, and, perhaps, nothing shows the general average improvement more than the fact that last year there were 250 men stronger than the strongest man in 1880. It is safe to say that any alumnus of over eight years' standing, by going to Holmes and Jarvis fields...
That the inter-class contests in track athletics were a decided success and ought to be continued in the future was clearly demonstrated yesterday afternoon by the close competition in the various events and the interest manifested by the large crowd of spectators. There was only one thing to mar the thorough enjoyment of everyone at the meeting, and that was the unfortunate accident to one of the riders in the bicycle race-an accident which can be easily averted in the future, and which in this case, happily, is not at all serious. One record was broken, presaging...
