...YEAR or two ago, when the Athletic Association, at a cost of six hundred dollars or more, built a cinder track which, it was said, would be the finest owned by any of the colleges, we confidently expected that Harvard had spent all that it would need, for this purpose, for some time to come. But it seems that our expectations are not to be realized. It is an undoubted fact, that the wrong kind of cinders was used in the original laying-out of the track, and the whole contract was carried out in a thoroughly unsatisfactory and careless...
...meetings but once a month, the cry of too many societies will die out; the papers read and the questions discussed can be done much better; the attendance will undoubtedly be larger, and the whole will have more backbone and spirit. It can hardly be denied that they all need, or, at least, could stand, a great deal of improvement, and this we think could be done by adopting what is suggested.

The popularity of the course formerly conducted by Professor James would prove this, if proof were needed; but, when we consider the number of students whose special pursuits are connected with this study, and the still larger number who have a general interest in the subject, we need not search further for evidence that the course is desirable. As an aid to the intelligent appreciation of art and the more thorough knowledge of athletic development, the study...
There is room and in fact need for men in almost every event on our programmes, and we shall hope in the spring to see, by the increased number of men working every day on the track, that the efforts of the Athletic Association to promote the interest of our field sports have not been thrown away. At any rate, let us all have the satisfaction of feeling that, if the cup goes elsewhere next year, it will not be for lack of earnest endeavors and conscientious work on the part of every man who feels now that he could...
