The exhibition will give men such a chance to show visitors the real methods and results of our gymnasium work as has never previously been given. It has never fallen to the lot of an American university before to be able to exhibit to the admiring eyes of its friends such a number of champion teams as is our good fortune to possess at present, and if Harvard enthusiasm is not thoroughly aroused...
