...candidates for the Mott Haven team are now at work in the gymnasium, and probably feel that there is no need that they should be urged to do their duty. We do not doubt that hard and faithful training is being done, but we would call the attention of the candidates to the exceptionally strong efforts being made this year at other colleges to wrest the inter-collegiate championship from Harvard. The Yale trainer is reported in the papers as saying that Yale will send a stronger team to Mott Haven than she has for years; and Columbia...
...undergraduates, they must be taken in connection with the regular college work. They count either as a whole or half courses. Already complications have arisen as to the number of them that may be taken at one time. If the present courses prove successful, as we have no doubt they will, and the other departments offer similar ones, a very considerable problem looms up in the near future.

Undoubtedly, then, the talk has had a very good influence on the committee-men themselves. But as yet the students at large have been...
...Beyond doubt it will be a long time before a few hundred or a thousand human beings will be able to come together for any such high aim as searching after knowledge, without having all the unpleasant elements of a lower life thrust upon them. In these days to study is not only to study, but to grow unpleasantly wise in the ways of the world. The Harvard college yard was not laid out for the sportive Cambridge youth; the college itself was not founded that merchants and dealers might make fortunes; and above all, the college buildings were...
