...lack of interest felt in this country for classical archaeology has been conspicuous. By the establishment of the American School at Athens a great impetus has been given to archaeological study which will soon, it is hoped, put our school on a level with the French and German schools now doing such good work at Athens in their peculiar branch...
Canoeing in the United States was given a great impetus by the formation of the American Canoe Association in 1880.

We hope that the project of an inter-collegiate conference of undergraduates to meet at Columbia College the last of this week will but receive a new impetus from this failure of faculty interference. The Harvard faculty in common with some few others has persistently refused organized co-operation with the undergraduates in the reform of college athletics. It is possible that this inter-collegiate conference may be able to suggest changes and reforms in the rules...
