...Athletic Association is at last in press, and will be ready for sale within a week or ten days. The last part, relating to rules of boxing and fencing, will not be published in the Crimson, since only one objection, of the many which it was supposed would follow the publication of the first part, has been presented to the committee. As was announced last week, the meeting in the Gymnasium will be held early in March, and will include all the usual sports, of which a list (though not the order) will be found in another column.

...college journals that Yale ought to refrain from sending a crew to New London to meet that of Harvard, unless the latter would agree to discountenance the presence of all other crews upon the course during the five days which precede and the five which follow the day of the race (June 27), I earnestly seconded the recommendation.

The general aims of these three societies are the same, and each of them is willing to do anything towards securing lectures on its special subject; by combining they could give us a full course...
...true. Those croakers who declared that Class Day produced more discord than pleasure, and advocated its abolition, are completely silenced; and all friends of that time-honored institution can quietly rejoice. Especially should the under classes feel glad that they have such a precedent to follow, and that, instead of the usual troubled season of caucuses and partisan tickets, they can hope for a calm selection of fitting men for the various offices. Before this it was thought incredible that sectional prejudice should not have stronger influence than personal qualifications in an election of officers for Class Day; but last...
