...societies, and one of them at least should be literary in character. There is much literary ability in Harvard which is discouraged during the first half of the college course or remains wholly uncultivated. It is not right that men of such tastes should not have a chance to develop themselves. The college papers offer now the only opportunities to such men, but it is evident that these cannot satisfy the need. It is with a view to remedy this evil that the suggestion is made about a literary society for sophomores. Such an organization should have...
...careful management on the part of the athletic committee. The present officers of the Athletic Ascociation are taking a great interest in Yale's welfare in their department of athletics, and are leaving nothing undone which will in any way make success more certain. It is their aim to develop men for those events which are not very strong at present. Coxe's graduation leaves Yale without the winner of the two of the first prizes taken last spring.

It seems to us better that they should be moderately good in all; but we recognize while human nature is what it is, that many will aspire to special excellence. It would be a curious problem in experimental mechanics to decide just how a man should be built to use his strength to the greatest advantage...
...proficiency in games is an instinct, and the gaudium certaminis a stimulant-almost an intoxicating one. To advise these men to take sober walks that they may avoid over-exertion and broken bones, is an absurdity, but they may accept and profit by advice as to how best to develop their powers. Still, to these the monotony of the gymnasium will in the long run become irksome. The tennis player will admit that his right arm exceeds his left, without caring to correct it. He cannot correct it without taking time from his favorite game, and there by injuring...
