...games held under the auspices of the Harvard Athletic Association last Saturday were good, but can be by no means compared to last year's meeting. A heavy shower which fell at two o'clock somewhat dampened the ardor of the many spectators who had begun to gather. At half past two the benches were filled with spectators,-many ladies among them, who braved the two showers which fell during the progress of the games and remained until the end. The events were held in the following order...
...Further, enthusiasm among the members of a crew is what calls out new candidates; therefore this action of the Law School will lesson to a great degree the desire of new men to try for the undergraduate crews. While I would not wish in the least to dampen the ardor of our legal fellow-students, it does seem that it would be but just for them to allow the class races to remain distinctively class races.

Unfortunately, this illustration overlooks the fact that professors, like other people, are influenced largely by their environment. They...
...specified stations, seems to have had the desired result. Not only have the numbers of idle small boys who used to infest every part of the college grounds greatly diminished, but those that have remained seem to have acquired a strangely altered tone of civility. But precisely why the ardor of the "shacker" in the pursuit of the wayward tennis ball should have suffered so sudden a cooling, and his numbers so sadly diminished, is not easy to see. We are perhaps forced to the conclusion that a reckless extravagance had characterized the players of tennis previous...
