...years 1885-86 and 1886-87. These statistics were compiled with the greatest of care by the athletic committee, and are therefore as accurate and trustworthy as any statistics on such a subject can be. In nearly every case the standing of students on the university crew, nine, eleven, Mott Haven and lacrosse teams is largely above the average standing of the entire class. There are several instances in which men on university teams have obtained an exceedingly high rank, and many have received scholarships. It is only with respect to the athletics of the freshman classes that the standard...
...freshmen had an avermark calculated at 68 per cent. The class eleven had 60 per cent. The class eleven had 60 per cent, the nine 62, the crew 67, and the lacrosse team 71. The average percentage of the class of '87 was 76. The average mark of the seniors in the university crew and nine, and in the football, lacrosse and Mott Haven teams was 75 per cent. The lowest mark received was 65 per cent., while seven men were awarded Commencement parts, and one received honors...

...committee. They found that in 1886-87 the excess of the average number of absences of the men engaged in athletics above the average of their class was-for the Mott Haven team, 1; the crew, nine, and cricket team, 5; the leading tennis players, 7, and the eleven, 8. On the other hand the lacrosse team had a record of six less absences than their class average. The freshmen again fall behind. The nine had an average of eight more absences than their class, and the eleven 23 more; while the crew was about on a par with...
...committee found that "the total time necessary for practice by the members of the nine, eleven and crew amounted to from one and three-fourths to three hours per day. The training moreover, is not so severe as to make the time devoted to study of less value to members of teams than to other students. The only time, therefore, which can reasonably be considered wasted is that consumed in travelling by the teams which play outside of Cambridge...
