...purity and learning, most vast and accurate. the value of a residence at a great university lies not alone in the opportunities offered for the acquisition of learning, but in the surroundings. When one is constantly thrown in contact with a circle of men whose only aim is to know the best the world can offer, he can not fail, however thoughtless he may be, to be influenced in the direction of good. It is this circle of the older professors at Harvard that makes us fell proud of our university and it is to their personality that we shall...
...obtain or construct a proper screen the rest of the undertaking ought to be easy. The desired maps can be easily photographed. The negatives thus formed make the lantern slides. A lantern, or more than one, is in the possession of the college, and there are men here who know how to use it. To use this would be much easier work than drawing two large maps by hand.

Besides the starters rarely know their business and dangerous falls are sure to occur if the number of starters is large. Mr. Reed mentions that there is a rule which provides that the race be started again if the starters fall within 10 yards of the start. This rule is well enough but gives small...
...happen to know that this rule of the race in heats was strongly urged by Harvard's delegates who knew that the gentlemen who will represent Harvard this year do not wish to take any chances to being killed either by ignorant starters or a crowd of riders on the track. Mr. Reed closes his article by urging the formation of an Inter-collegiate Bicycle Association. This would be a capital plan, but we doubt if the interest taken in bicycling in the colleges is great enough. In a few years will be the time for such a movement...
