...planned the entire choice of the American team will be made at a trial meet, to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on June 6. Experience has shown that, although open to all amateurs, American Olympic teams have been composed chiefly of college athletes. The latter will find it hard to keep in the best of condition for both meets, and will undoubtedly wish to be at their best for the intercollegiate contest. Why not, therefore, allow the records made at the intercollegiates to stand as their trial, with the meet on June 6 open only to men not eligible...
...team will lose only two men by graduation this spring: C. Almy, Jr., '08 and O. A. Wyman '08; but it will have this year's strong Freshman team to draw from, so that the number of available men will make keen competition. The problem will be to find a centre.

Of the quality offered we have little to complain, but it does seem that by a little judicious management the meals might be served fresher and hotter. There are certain articles of food quantities to be served when called for, as is apparently done in some cases at present...
...teacher to get into communication with the parents. If the ideas of the parents and the teachers do not converge to a common end, good results cannot be secured from public schools. Moreover, since the greater proportion of the boys who leave school on completing the elementary grades, find themselves inadequately fitted for earning wages, the training in the public schools should be supplemented by night schools and trade schools, where the education will be adapted to the real needs of pupils...
