...advantages of the plan are too obvious to need discussion, and the universal desire expressed each year that we might have a skating pond nearer college than Fresh Pond, is a sufficient warrant for the undertaking of the plan. The proper organization to move in the matter is without doubt the athletic association. The officers of this society have always been prompt to respond to the expressed wishes of its members, and I am sure the present demand will meet with no denial from them. Any ideas that any one may have on the subject should be advanced freely that...
When we come to the Harvard Monthly it makes us envious to see one article in each issue signed by some noted name, and we feel like amending the clause in our constitution which limits our contributions to undergraduates. Yet on mature thought we doubt if this would be advantageous. We believe a college publication should be distinctly an exponent of work done by the students of that institution.- Williams Literary Monthly...
That it is better for Harvard and Yale to confine their contests to each other is open to doubt. It would tend to increase the size of the two institutions and would act unfavorably upon athletic interests elsewhere. However, it seems to be the tendency.

Objectivity is not necessarily material...

There is danger, no doubt, of minor hurts as there is in everything which enters into the domain of athletics; there is danger, remotely, of serious accident as there is likewise in the most simple forms of gymnastic exercises. But for dash and vigor and the highest sense of physical perfection which it is probably...
