...importance of our athletic interests is very considerable; even a Committee on Athletics would grant this. Aside from the influence that success or defeat has in the outer world-aside even from the honor of the college involved in these intercollegiate contests, the physical welfare of the students is vitally bound up in them. Dumb bells and pulleys are all very well in their way, but they can not- and do not- enter into the life of our athletics. The students, appreciating as they do the importance of the question, are strongly opposed to change, believing, and we think rightly...
Time has introduced modifications in some of these features, but, however changed, they still remain the only essential con-comitants of the parade.

...engaged in the most active exercises. The new uniforms, if adopted, will be particularly rich in appearance and will lend more color to the scene on Holmes and please the eye of the fine arts professors. It is to be hoped that the members of the cricket club will grant the desired permission and then the nine will be able to make the experiment, and everyone will have a chance to express his opinion of the result. The idea of changing back from hers to caps seems almost questionable. The flannel hat was adopted some years ago as having considerable...
