...Athletic Association, the prizes for general development last year, desires to repeat the offer. The competition for many of the prizes and honors of the H. A. A. is practically limited to the strongest and largest men. And the training for the contest in which they are won is often brief and in spurts. On this account, the association deems it important that men of average or less than average strength should receive some special encouragement to faithful and steady work in the gymnasium and in the field. And it is only as another expression of the same idea that...
...enthusiasm at the afternoon practice on Jarvis. We think that every man who takes any interest in the welfare of the eleven, ought to show his appreciation of the hard work that is being done by attending the practising as well as the games of the team as often as possible. But while this is in every way desirable men must be more careful about walking around, not across the new ground on Holmes. The ground has been planted with grass seed, part of which is expected to grow before winter, but if scores of men are to tramp over...
...play was to be expected at first, as the large number of new players made concerted play very difficult. The play of the backs was by no means up to the standard of the rush line, and most of the ground was gained by the latter.

Wesleyan played a very commendable up-hill game, and the return match later will surely be a very interesting one. Beattys, their half back, did the best kicking of the game, while Gordy in the rush line did some very...
...produced in America during the colonial time. Turning now to men of science we find John Winthrop, [class of 1732,] "was probably the foremost American of his day." His "writings are models of scientific exposition, thorough, simple, terse, lucid, graceful, having an occasional stroke of poetic beauty in epithet ; often rising into effortless and serene eloquence." But in poetry Harvard at this early day furnished the foremost as writers. She since has furnished Lowell and Emerson. Mlchael Wigglesworth, class of 1651 was in contemporaneous renown far above all other verse writers." He had "the genius of a true poet...
