...wholesome and innocent use of the fire and sinew of youth, in the fresh air, under the clear sky of heaven; animated by loyal purpose, and sparing no passing pang for the furtherance of a desired object-there is nothing in the whole range of manly training which can equal it, the ends it accomplishes or the methods of reaching them. We have not yet any too much enthusiasm over physical culture. The work of those young fellows on Saturday, lifting a decorous mass of 6000 cold American onlookers into a crowd of passionate enthusiasts, forgetting all the forced...
...second number of the Advocate appeared yesterday, and is fully equal to the first issue. The editorials are written in a manly, determined spirit, and treat the subjects of which they speak in a manner that evinces careful thought and deliberation.

The sketch is copiously illustrated by quaint pictures of the city of Amsterdam and is told in that clear, pointed style characteristic of the well known authors. The second article is a chapter on Church History-the relationship...
...first time in four years has come to Harvard. This success is more gratifying from the fact that the victory is an auspicious opening of the athletic season, and perhaps indicates that the tide has turned and that now we may look for a regeneration in other sports equal to the one which has taken place in tennis...
