...another column we print an article by a graduate on our new Gymnasium, and we heartily second his views in regard to the need of a professor of hygiene. It is certain that too little attention is given to physical culture in the colleges of this country. The idea is prevalent that college exercises are neglected for athletic sports. The fact is that the time required for any athletic sport is no more than every student should give to physical exercise; and such time is given by a small proportion of the men in this College. Any one who compares...
...witness a better race even than that of last year. Yale has a heavy crew, and will be sure to prove a formidable rival; and the interest in the race will be greater than was felt last year, as so much more depends upon the result. We do not need to remind the Crew how much the University relies upon their success.

Probably it will be impossible to convince the public that it was not an intercollegiate race; but if the newspapers will have it so, we shall leave it to the Yale papers to wage the battle. Mr. Goddard may well...
...learn that it is the desire of the Faculty to secure such an arrangement of recitations on the Tabular View as shall need little, if any, change for two or more years; in this way it is hoped that men may partially or entirely select their electives for more than one year. This is obviously a great gain to students, and we hope it may be found practicable. The Faculty further intend to arrange the examinations, next year and in subsequent years, so far as is possible, in accordance with the groups on the Tabular View. We also understand that...
