...usually a number of Japanese, and this year two from India are expected. Christian life and activity will be discussed and a man can hardly imagine a more beneficial twelve days than this meeting with bright and well-travelled men, and the exceedingly good time in the open air. Any man who has any thought that he might like to go would probably find out just what was best for him to do by talking with the committee, which will be appointed very soon. Yale had a larger delegation than Harvard last year, and attempts are to be made...
...game was on the whole well played and interesting. The day was a delightful one for base ball and the bracing air of the Berkshire hills seemed to infuse new life into our men when on base-a notable improvement in base running being apparent. There is still room for advancement in the batting prowess of our team, Harvard's work at the bat being only fair Saturday. The fielding of Harvard was good throughout the game, the only error being a half-excusable fumbling of a hot grounder. The features of the game were Hallowell's hitting for Harvard...
...special interest to Harvard men. All students in Greek archaeology know of Schliemann and his valuable work, and in the April issue of this magazine are "Personal Recollections of Schliemann," a gossipy paper, full of amusing anecdotes of the great archaeologist, especially interesting at this time, when the air is full of biographical projects concerning him.

...management may very likely say: "That is all very well in theory, but if we abolish this rule and consequently our sole source of revenue, how are track athletics going to be supported?" They may claim that our answer rests on a matter as yet wholly in the air. But surely, if one can read the signs, the time when all the 'varsity teams will be mutually self-supporting is not far off. The graduate treasurer speaks most encouragingly of it; everything points to it. Cannot the Harvard Athletic Association trust to it and the generosity of the University...
...winter. "The buildings, like those of Northern colleges of the grade of Dartmouth, Brown or Amherst, never had any doors apparently, and do not need them." Nor have hard blizzards necessitated even the replacing of "windows broken in war time." The roses bloom all the time in open air, and there is out-door singing in the January evenings, as with us in June. The board and lodging is fabulously cheap ($18 a month) from our point of view, but the students are perhaps even better fed, for the cooking is excellent. The University is now feeling the new pulse...
