Speaking of how the Harvard association can accomplish much work, Mr. Mott said that there were four points which he wished to give the members for consideration.

...mile walk, C. T. R. Bates, '92, J. B. Paine, '91. and C. R. Bardeen, Sp. In addition to these men W. C.

Two years ago the club was hardly heard of and existed almost entirely as a social club. but since then it has become an athletic organization of some importance. Considering the general popularity of cycling in this country it is rather surprising that the club is not more thought of than it is. Up to this time bicycle races have been rather unimportant events in the Mott Have games, but the bicycle club of this college bids fair to become strong enough to withdraw from...
