...with pleasure we announce that in a few days a report showing the result of the investigations made by the Committee of the Faculty on Athletics, is to be published and distributed. The report is certain to contain valuable information on a subject that has never been carefully and fully investigated before-the real position of athletics in college life. Exaggerated ideas of the great amount of time spent by athletes in training, and of the consequent loss of time that ought to have been devoted to college work proper, etc.- will be confirmed or disproved by the result...

...severely felt next year, unless the ranks are filled by a large accession of men from Ninety-two or unless singers among the students offer themselves at the trial of candidates in the fall. There are numbers of men in college who have good voices, but who have never had their interest aroused so far as to seek membership in the Glee Club, or who have been diffident about presenting themselves. The club does not demand men with exceptional voices, but rather those who sing with attention to the requirements of the music and with care in regard...
