...race next spring. If the plan is carried out it will add another to the list of championship contests between Yale and Harvard. Of course it will be impossible to arouse as general an interest in bicycling as exists in foot-ball, base-ball, or rowing, but a race like the one proposed will tend to lift bicycling from the comparatively insignificant place it now holds as a college sport.

Before men have learned to choose, they are injured by the tremendous mass offered to them, much of which is trivial, much enervating, much even bad. For reading, like the choice of friends, is serious; no gentleman can spend time upon low-minded books. And the time spent merely upon what is trivial is a real loss. It keeps men from acquiring a taste for the best...
