...have said, the growth of our cities has done much to curtail the opportunities for obtaining open air exercise which our young men formerly enjoyed. But this evil has been met by erecting gymnasiums, such as, in our younger days, never even entered our dreams. Here in Boston we have the gymnasiums of the Young Men's Christian Union, and Young Men's Christian Association, open to all, on the payment of a merely nominal fee. The youth of our higher schools have access to the excellent gymnasium of the Boston Latin School, on Warren avenue, though, it must...
...Storrow is the only man who rowed in both of last year's races ; Yocom rowed in the Yale race.

But is to provide accommodations where all men so inclined can take an afternoon's exercise at small expense. It will need but little from each man, if all will only give their share and that promptly...
...been that at Yale, where the athletic championship has lain, public sentiment has been unwilling to admit that the need of reform existed. Thus it was the position of the Yale authorities that checked our faculty in its earlier attempts to improve athletics, and the Yale papers have never, within recollection, advocated athletic reforms. Under these circumstances an article from a Yale pen, calling for a higher standard in college sports, is a happy sign of progress.
