...season for field and river sports opens, the increasing interest manifested in the various college associations for physical culture is most gratifying. The present week, notwithstanding the shiveriness of the temperature, has found the members of the different boating-clubs taking their invigorating pulls on the Charles; and the ball men have again sought Jarvis. This season, however, physical development has another candidate for our interest and favor in the Athletic Association.

In the Library is a card on which are printed in colors the flags of the various college boat-clubs of Oxford University; with the dark-blue flag of the University in the centre, these bright-colored flags have a very brilliant effect. It would be perfectly possible for the boat-clubs of Harvard to choose flags of a similar sort. Five flag-staffs could be erected...
