The series of games for the class championship were instituted chiefly with a view to drawing out the men of '86 who are fond of the sport, and of giving an opportunity to the base-ball talent of the class to develop itself. And although the previous practice of the nine may not have warranted him in feeling secure of victory, still that was no excuse for his not putting in an appearance at the proper time, and consequently defeating to a certain extent the original object of the games...

Feeders to college teams in the shape of lacrosse clubs at the preparatory schools will prove of value in entering the field ready for play instead of being obliged to develop a team from crude material. In every college and school there are those who, not interested in base-ball and other sports, are attracted by lacrosse.

He began by giving statistics of the death proportion from consumption and tubercular diseases, arising from an imperfect development of the lungs and heart. Such affections are often inherited, or result from occupations and circumstances which tend to produce them. Consumption is, however, easy to prevent by a course of physical exercise. In Harvard, only one man out of three has a perfect chest, the principal imperfections being a flatness on the upper part and depression at the base of the breast bone, compression of the sides...
