Rice and indigo-the main products-largely determined the social life of the colony. The cultivation of the former being especially unhealthy, and negroes being cheap, it became more profitable to work the slaves to their utmost capacity while they lived. This did much to keep the slaves in a state of savagery, and the people lived in constant dread of negro revolts. Accordingly none of the planters lived on their estates, but left them to the management of overseers, while they went to live in Charleston, where a brilliant society existed...
...courts were built to give the baseball men a chance to keep in training during the winter months. Certainly no game is better adapted to cultivate agility and endurance. During the present winter, however, I have never found anybody in them, though I have used them almost daily; and it does not appear that that they have ever been used to any extent, except perhaps in the spring.

This suggestion should be extended to include the candidates for all other athletic teams which will represent Harvard in intercollegiate contests. The candidates for the crew, track team, and nine should keep in such good health and strength during the winter that when the season of active training begins they will be in condition to do hard work from the first. If this is done, the preliminary work to get the men into condition will be unnecessary, and the members of the teams will be stronger and have greater endurance throughout the season. The danger of over-training will...
...with the season's experiences and lessons fresh in mind, is the time to begin preparations for next year. If all men who expect to try for the team next year will exercise regularly and keep in good condition and training during the intervening time, there will be less likelihood that the team will fail from lack of mere physical strength and endurance...
