...seemed to enjoy the singing and playing and applauded generously. Considering that it was the first formal concert of the year, the work of both clubs was very good. The singing of the Glee Club is still a little unsteady, owing to the large proportion of new men. This defect will be removed before the Cambridge concert by daily rehearsals. The Banjo Club is playing better than ever before, and its preparation for the Cambridge concert is almost completed. The prospect of the Western tour has been a great stimulus to the work of both clubs, and the result will...

Nothing can make up for the absence of the actual picture by which alone the impression of form...
...three foot-ball players and rowing men, the lung capacity is said to be insufficient to support the fine muscular development. Indeed other factors have to be reckoned in the inquiry, and some do not lend themselves to tabulation. There are men whose organs show no defect, but who can not bear the strain of prolonged exertion, especially if severe. Some can not sleep, some can not eat, some have nervous disturbances, all of which suggests that mental qualities are involved, as well as bodily ones, in the production of the athlete. We have heard the statement made...
