...Magazine for the energy and zeal they have displayed in calling the attention of the University to the need of a larger gymnasium. Perhaps no one factor has contributed more to arouse the interest in physical training than the building of the Hemenway Gymnasium in 1878. Seventy-five per cent. of the school and college gymnasium directors in the United States have received at least a part of their training in this institution while attending Harvard's summer courses in physical education, and the stream of influence that has been carried by two thousand pupils from this Gymnasium has brought...
...stood three to two in favor of dribbling. Everybody who plays the game admits that that is more than half the cause of its roughness, and also doubles the difficulty of the referee's duties. By preventing dribbling it would improve the game more than a hundred per cent., and I am pretty certain that it would only take a little pressure to cause the Committee to abolish it. I should think that it would be much simpler, better, and pleasanter to try to better the sport through the Rules Committee than to hurt it by abolishing...
...made by the members of the University, and that the interest shown by them will induce the graduates to lend a hand. This suggestion is well worth the consideration of the Student Council, and if practicable should be acted on at once.

...this spring with last year's list of games. The most noticeable feature is the attempt of the management to detract as little as possible from the "scholarly interests" of the undergraduates. The number of mid-week games in Cambridge during term time has been reduced 25 per cent, because these contests caused absences from lectures. One less trip will be taken, and the total number of games will be three or four less than it was last year. From the schedules of other teams already published, it is apparent that the wishes of the Faculty in regard...
...first of December, it is expected that the accumulation on the estate will have reached $1,000,000, after which this sum will be turned over to the University by provision of the will "to be used in the promotion of applied science." Thereafter, eighty per cent. of the net income, over and above the annuities, on the estate which is valued at between $4,500,000 and $5,000,000 will be paid annually and eventually the estate itself will come to the University. Thus the resources of the school are practically unlimited...
