which, being interpreted, means, "Harvard University, alas! too near the Mabille Garden." To be sure, it is not yet within easy walking distance. To the ardent and inquiring youth one cannot yet answer, "Second turning on the left, follow the crowd and there you are"; but still it is too near to make both ends meet comfortably on an allowance of $2,000 a year...

Under the instruction of such a professor men would not attempt to enter athletic contests without a suitable amount of training, and "English" trainers might be dispensed with. Again, many who cannot be induced to exercise at present might find it worth while if they could have good instruction, and thus the number of "hot-house" scholars might be reduced.

We hope, too, that members will induce their friends to come to the sports, and help the sale of the tickets; for the Association has spared no expense in preparing for these meetings, and is much in need of money. Certainly, the management cannot be too highly praised for the effort it has made, and for the inducements it holds out to contestants this year; and now the ultimate success of the Association depends on the way in which men give their support by entering, and by bringing their friends...
