...last four years Harvard has been slowly but surely going down in athletics. In the face of this, and in view of bad records, our almost clean score of defeats in the last three years, the mere fast that a mass meeting of Harvard students voted even to consider the question will put Harvard in an odious and contemiuous light. Very fortunately the committee appointed will not have power to decide the matter. It will justly be brought before a meeting of students who will then have considered the matter, who will not be taken by surprise, and who, unless...
...good time. Harmar, who is depended upon to take the mile run, is now very fat and heavy, but hopes to be able to get into condition before the intercollegiate games which occur on May 25. There are no new men who show any promise of ever developing into fast runners.

...kindly, i.e., a 'good fellow.' Yet it is undeniable that the feeling of contempt, for vice and extravagance, gathers strength among all as the four years pass. The influence of the sporting men, of men of fashion, and of the heavy subscribers to athletic games (i. e., of the fast set), which is overwhelming in the freshman year, is almost entirely supersided by the influence of the Monthly editors, of the members of historical, philosophical and finance clubs of the senior year; and as the upperclassmen give the tone to the college, you see how misleading Mr. Quest's article...
