EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-The old gymnasium which is now used as a carpenter shop, seems to be standing in the cold and waiting for somebody to fix it up. Bicyclists are sadly in need of such a place to keep their machines in, and also it is a good place for a reading-room and billiard room. There is space enough in the building to make four or five large rooms. The Pope Manufacturing Co. had last summer several agencies around the country, where they kept bicycles and tricycles to let; they also taught riding. Now, perhaps they could...
...might some day be at least more useful if not more ornamental. The idea of making the building into several rooms is a good one. Unless the college carpenters desire to build small houses inside or use the space to store up a whole wood yard they cannot need all the room which the building affords. There must be at least room enough to enable the bicycle club to establish a headquarters in it, with opportunities for storage for their machines. The plan suggested by the writer of having an agency for the rent of bicycles would doubtless meet with...
...objection, that the men under training in the university organizations are the men least requiring the training, can be understood to be one of two propositions, viz., either that these men have naturally so much power or skill that they need not develop any more, or that they will cultivate their strength and nerve without being stimulated to do so by the workings of the present system. This would be like arguing that men of great mental gifts either do not need an education, or would get an education without any opportunities being provided for this purpose in a school...
...with the most laudable intentions, had tried to do too much.

A simple set of rules providing that professional athletes shall not be employed to instruct undergraduates, that no games shall be played with professionals, and that the rules of foot-ball shall be modified so as to do away, as far as possible, with brutality, might have...
...pleasing to notice from the corrected copy of the financial statement of the Co-operative Society that the affairs of the society are in so favorable a condition. The society's assets are $386.60. But the students should not be deceived by this showing. There is a great need of ready cash and more funds to carry it through till September. Most of the balance, as is stated, consists of stock, and debts contracted cannot be paid unless this is sold or new members come in. To do the best work the society must keep active. Over three hundred have...
