...musical accomplishments until they have spent some time at college, and when they have come to recognize the undoubted advantages and pleasures accruing therefrom, they are only too desirous of devoting some time to acquiring at least a little skill in playing some instrument. There are many reasons, and obvious ones, too, that prevent a man from carrying out his wishes in this matter; but the most potent one is that very often he cannot devote the time to it to allow him to go to Boston to meet an instructor. It would be an easy matter for the university...
Edmund and I had arranged to climb Red Hill together some time during his stay. It was a pleasant tramp, - some ten miles to the summit and back, - and the beautiful September weather made him very anxious to attempt it. I was less eager, for obvious reasons. We started off in the afternoon. Edith came to the doorway just as we took the road. We looked back, and she waved her hand at us. It was the last time - except once...
...feeling which this fact occasions in the minds of some, the Society hopes to remove at once the suspicion and its cause by establishing an institution which shall be a powerful organ of religious influence in the College.

A team may do hard and conscientious work all through the winter, and yet in the spring meet with utter and signal defeat; and in such a case, while we should give them full credit for the hard...
...other events, the Mile Run has a fair number of representatives; and last year found more men than usual in the 1/4-Mile Run, and the 100 yards, though in this latter a lack of sufficient training and preparation was most obvious. In the Mile Walk we have only one man to look to, and should he become in any way disabled just before an important meeting, we should have absolutely no one to take his place. The same may be said of the 220 yards' Dash, and the Standing High Jump...
