...field sports. Especially gratifying is the rule that drops bicycle racing from the regular list of events at the annual meeting, and gives to this form of sport a meet of its own. As the question of making such an arrangement was discussed at some length in this column a short time ago, it is not necessary to mention again the advantages that will be gained by the change. The men in the University interested in cycling have long wished to see bicycle racing established as a form of intercollegiate sport separate from other sorts of athletics, and those interested...
There appears this morning in another column a communication on the change of the spring recess. The writer is evidently in earnest, but his position seems to us a mistaken one. He argues that there is a great inequality in the length of the autumn, winter and spring terms, and implies that the vacation he proposes would remedy this alleged evil. According to his division of the year's work, the autumn term contains about twelve weeks, the winter term fifteen weeks, and the spring term less than eight weeks. It takes but little calculation to determine that the vacation...
...this column yesterday morning we spoke of the use of the room in the basement of the Gymnasium by the candidates for the Mott Haven Team.

This fact, however, does not materially alter what we said yesterday. It remains true that the Freshman baseball candidates have...
Notice is given in another column of the annual exhibition of photographs to be held next week by the Camera Club. The Camera Club has not seemed so active this winter as in former years, and we hope that this does not signify a falling off in interest among its members. The club in the past has held a high reputation for excellence in the quality of its work, and there has been a distinct growth each year in interest, with a corresponding rise in the standard. Each exhibition has been better than the one of the year before...
...doubtless unnecessary to call the attention of students to the announcement of Professor Trowbridge's lecture which appears in another column. The interest taken in the recent experiments of Professor Trowbridge in cathode ray photography has been widespread, and it is safe to predict that the seating capacity of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory will be severely tested at the first lecture on this subject this evening. Interest in the work of Professor Trowbridge has not been confined to the University by any means. The whole scientific world has watched with attention the results of his experiments with this wonderful kind...
