...Yale, and more lately by some of the smaller New England colleges, has naturally acted somewhat as a check upon such a result. But the advertisement, the legitimate advertisement, for the university that follows upon this plan is a matter of no small account. As the Western States grow in wealth and in opportunities for higher education within their own borders, it will be but natural that they will more and more turn to the older and more thoroughly organized institutions of the East, and, we may hope, more particularly to Harvard as the completest representative of the university ideal...
...enough ground about the tree to admit of the exercises being carried through successfully. This year there are almost a hundred more men than last year in college who have a right to go to the tree, and it is probable that in time the classes will grow still larger. That a change must be made sooner or later is evident. The question naturally arises as to who must suffer. The choice lies between the graduates and the freshmen. But to exclude the former would be a lifelong matter, as a man always remains a graduate when once...
However much the university may grow, the north-east corner of Holmes field is safe from any encroachment for building purposes. Every one has noticed the muddy character of the soil there, but probably few have known the reason of it.

This fact, however, renders it unfit for holding the foundations of a building, so that athletics if finally, in the coming centuries, pinned down to that section, will be sure of one safe refuge from the advances...
...shave the awkward corner looming in the distance, and how soon he shall venture to call upon stroke for that final spurt which shall bring the taper bow within bumping distance of the boat which they pursue. Stroke by stroke the interval is lessened; the cries on the bank grow louder and more excited, as the partisans of each urge them on to greater efforts. The pursuers pull themselves together in obedience to their coach's warning voice, as their boat showed a tendency to roll when it meets the wash thrown from the oars of the leading crew. Another...
...incur heavy expenses on account of their athletic clubs; that the tax is kept within reasonable bounds, and that indulgence does not run to excess, but further they should not go. Unless there is rivalry, an incentive to action, the interest in athletic games at colleges will grow lukewarm, and from Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Columbia will come the complaint voiced by Herr Von Gossler, the Prussian minister of education. He has issued a circular advising that all the boys in the higher schools of the country shall be made to play games. The physical condition...
