...give up the winter meeting which has been advertised for next Saturday. The reason was a lack of entries. The games committee made every effort to get out enough men to make the meeting a success but as only one event was assured in the sparring it was felt that it would be manifestly unjust to hold a meeting and charge admission. The only reasonable explanation for the small number of entries is that the interest in sparring and wrestling is dying out at Harvard. In the shot contest there was an encouraging sign of interest...
Inasmuch as some men have trained faithfully for the meeting it was felt that it was only fair to give them an opportunity to compete. It was accordingly decided that in such events as were filled, contests should be held and prizes awarded.

We believe that there is a strong, though possibly latent, sentiment in the University about this, and that much regret is felt over the neglect. It is no trifling matter. The Trophy Room is by no means an unimportant institution. Few features of the University receive so much attention from visitors, and, during the summers especially, the number who enter there to look over Harvard's records is very large. One summer a record of the attendance was kept, and it was found that over four...
