...pheasants and wild turkeys slain last week by President Coolidge at Sapeloe (see page 9) were a luxurious but not misleading sample of what the Southeast offers to gunners. Almost anywhere from Virginia to mid-Florida, quail abound. Wild-fowling in the Carolinas-duck, geese, brant-is a sport of moderate temperatures, unlike the cold-blown shooting of northern rivers and bays. When Mr. Hoover visits Mr. Penney at Belle Isle shortly, accounts of Southeastern fishing will doubtless go forth, though the tarpon, greatest of Southeastern game-fish, is caught off Florida's west coast...

Dumbells, pulleys, and other machines of torture abound; exercise, "work", abounds. In the proposed building, the emphasis will have moved with the times. Work will yield to fun and recreation, exercise to competition. If Harvard men of the future lose their Hemenway acquired, Strongfertian muscular development, they may at least hope to replace it by better all-round condition and a sense of humor...
