...flourishing condition. Altogether, the interest shown in these sports had promised an increase of work and training for the field-meeting, and it can hardly be doubted that, had such a meeting taken place this year, it would have proved the best ever held at Harvard. But, unfortunately, it cannot be; Jarvis is in a too tender state to admit of even laying a track on it: the sod must first grow thicker, or the field might be ruined for the future. Every one who was present at Beacon Park last year will see the absurdity of attempting another meeting...
...cannot let pass the opportunity of joining with the Advocate, in earnestly hoping that Mr. Childs will consent to deliver in Cambridge his lectures on English Ballad Poetry, so that the members of the University and others may hear them. We were almost inclined to be jealous at the good fortune of the people of Baltimore, until we saw that such a feeling would be unreasonable; we remembered that, until last week, no desire to hear Mr. Childs's lectures had been publicly expressed. We do not think that any modesty on our part should keep us from expressing...
...view, and description of the new Gymnasium; but some delay in deciding the plans has obliged us to postpone the supplement to our next issue.

...motto should be. Dr. Osgood's words about Dr. Peabody meet with our hearty approval, and would if they said twice as much; but even if he does exert a strong Christian influence here, or even if the influence of the place itself is religious, that does not and cannot make this a Church College; whereas "Veritas" really does express the aim of the institution. So great a power for good as Harvard University could have no worthier by-word than "Truth," which is only a synonym for religion in its broadest sense. Like Mr. Sargent, we cannot imagine...
...that this rowing club will be glad to join the regatta if their plans are sufficiently advanced and the necessary arrangements made a few weeks before the race. An entry for the single-scull race has been made by the Newton Boat-Club, but this organization regrets that it cannot take part in the race on May 25. No reply has been received from the Jamaica Plain Club. Although the project of a combination regatta has not met with the encouragement and support from the amateur clubs of Boston and vicinity which was expected, there is a fair prospect...
