...game, and in the opinion of many people is the branch of athletics most deserving of encouragement, in that it has for its devotees such a large majority of college men. With the beginning of the tennis season, which will probably open with all its former activity at the close of the recess, must come also the much talked of "shack." Any measures, which the Tennis Association could adopt, to rid the college grounds of this nuisance as far as possible, would be most welcome to the college. Players should be cautious about encouraging the presence of muckers. A little...
...Cambridge-Oxford boat race was rowed last Saturday. The race was close and exciting throughout, there being no open water between the boats during the contest. Cambridge won in 22 min. 9 1-2 sec., half a boat length ahead. The average weight of the Cambridge men was 170.9 pounds; of the Oxford crew, 171.3. The time was the slowest since 1877, as the race was rowed against strong head winds all the way. The record for the past eleven years is, Oxford, 7 races; Cambridge, 4; and one dead heat...
Last night the series of symphony concerts in Sanders Theatre was brought to a successful close.

Learn the lesson of doing the right that lies close at hand, from the brave action of Mr. Cable in publishing his two books "The Freedman's Case in Equity," and "The Silent South." His action in defying social ostracism for the sake of what he felt was the right should be an example to us. It is by such men that...
...lecture last evening by Mr. Lodge was a fitting close to one of the most entertaining and instructive course of lectures to which the students have listened for some time. It was well that the use of leisure time should be considered from, so to speak, a professional standpoint. The lecturer recognized the tendency of our present mode of life toward a life of leisure combined with, and comprehended in sensible, remunerative work. It is the duty of every man who is blessed with an opportunity to rest from the sterner duties of life to so cultivate...
