There are several criticisms to be made upon the first winter meeting of the Athletic Association. In the first place the meeting was rather too long, even for the patience of enthusiasts. The air in the gymnasium gets pretty bad after being drawn upon for three or four consecutive hours. The sparring was good, although there was more slugging at times then should characterize a friendly bout between gentlemen. The wrestling was not as good as we have seen it, and there was a little too much of it. However, the meeting was, on the whole, a success...
...never regret it. Now is the time to show what stuff Harvard men are made of; to show that they are not mean, nor stingy, nor, worst of all, indifferent; to show to Yale and other colleges that if money is needed by Harvard organizations money will be forthcoming, even if it does take a little self-sacrifice and denial.

...raising grain ought to prove its value. For the negative, G. A. Reisner, '89, proceeded to show the inconsistency of his opponent. He maintained that the characteristics and institutions of the Canadians totally opposed those of United States; they would be unwilling to be annexed without war, and, even in case of annexation without one, the political interests of our country would be injured. For the affirmative, E. B. Chenoweth, '88, divided the benefits to be gained under three heads-the military, the economic advantages, and political expediency. In case of was with England the frontier opens along its whole...
