...walk this fall have both had their supporters, but not a word has been said for the plucky freshman who made nearly or quite as good time in that race as the victorious senior. Shattuck, so far as is known, never walked a race in his life till winter before last. He has had no training, and yet he came within a second or two of beating an older and more experienced man. Such a man just starting upon a four year's course, certainly does not want to be overlooked...

Many persons object to the time and effort given to athletics by college students. The town of Sharon had a winter school where for several years the big boys had it all their own way, thrashing and turning out of doors the alleged masters, until the committee engaged John Sykes, an under-sized graduate of Harvard, but over-sized in muscle and energy far beyond what his appearance indicated. He opened school with a conciliatory address, asking the co-operation of the pupils, but ending with a firm expression of his intentions and expectations. Very soon after which Bill Gates...
