There are altogether too many of our students who pass their four years either without any muscular exercise at all, or at best spend a few hours a week at tennis or some other sport which, though excellent as a means of obtaining fresh air, yet fails to furnish that training for the muscles of the whole body which is absolutely required if a man wishes to find himself thoroughly fitted for the strains which his system is sure to undergo in later life. Let every member of the freshman class present himself to Dr. Sargent for examination...
...essays, orations, such productions as we listen to every week in our different class rhetorical exercises. In too many instances these labored productions prove tiresome and entirely without interest. Subjects are frequently chosen which, from time immemorial, have been the favorite themes for our college literary stars. These furnish us no information, nor do they offer sufficient instruction in the methods of composition to repay the reader for his time ; and they are certainly in no sense amusing.

On the whole the captain is to be congratulated on the showing of the team so far, and the eleven merits all the encouragement that the college can furnish them in the subsequent practice. Wesleyan played a very commendable up-hill game, and the return match later will surely be a very interesting one. Beattys, their half back, did the best kicking of the game, while Gordy in the rush line did some very brilliant rushing...
