...older universities it has risks of its own. Twice within the last few months has a set of rooms at Oxford been burned. In the fire at Baliol College the occupant was, I believe, only saved from a terrible death by the fortunate fact that his bedroom had two doors to it. As you are doubtless aware, according to the general arrangement, the bedroom opens only into the sitting-room. Had he been sleeping in a room on this plan, he could not have escaped by the door, for when he was roused, his sitting-room was all in flames...

With today's meeting the athletic season of 1882 may be said to fairly open for Harvard. Though it can hardly be said that out-door sports will be fully inaugurated until after the April recess, yet the first formal athletic event of general interest to the entire university is today's gymnastic exhibition; with it "ye Harvard men" shake off the lethargy of the winter, cull out their first holiday, and flock in festive throngs to admire and applaud the prowess and industry of their brother athletes. The great examination in Gymnastics 1, advanced sections, is posted on today...
...athletic season may be fairly said to have opened yesterday. With the return of springlike weather the opportunity for out-door work is eagerly taken advantage of, and the change from the monotony of the gymnasium routine is fully enjoyed. Jarvis and Holmes will soon be lively with the practising nines and various teams of cricket, lacrosse and tennis players. The curious will now find amusement in going to the boat-house and seeing the Class and 'Varsity crews. Bicyclers, too, will soon be able to enjoy their rides over smooth, hard roads, and those fond of pedestrian jaunts...
