...days, before the hockey season for all is well under way, offer an excellent opportunity to interest the sedentary student in boxing. Although once flourishing, this exercise has long languished as a competitive sport. Yet there are professional coaches in the Gymnasium ready to give instruction in it. Why cannot a competitive series of matches be instituted, to seduce the inert undergraduate from his hibernation, and to add zest to the aimless work of the lonely exerciser in the Gymnasium? Medals given to winners of the various classifications would add inducement; limited rounds and heavy gloves would remove danger...
Those gentlemen who oppose the movement for a battalion on the ground that it will be of "no great military value" suggest that Harvard students enlist in the militia. Undoubtedly this is a significant suggestion, but it cannot be executed with any degree of appreciation, for students do not find it convenient to enlist in the militia.

Collectors from all over the country, including a representative from Yale, are coming to purchase at the sale. Cannot the University set aside a fund to form a Harvard collection of war posters, which should prove of interest and historical value for all time...
...prospective recruit. The General Staff doubtless is not satisfied with the work done in this line in state colleges and preparatory schools providing military training--we sincerely hope it is not--but this seems all the more reason for establishing a University battalion to see if we cannot more nearly approach that degree of efficiency which will satisfy the General Staff. And since, in addition to a sound physique and a knowledge of chemistry, emphasized by Dr. Sargent, it is necessary for an efficient officer to be versed in drill regulations, why not supplement our other training by work...
