...practice and training, it can hardly be said that scrub games are needed to develop players for the 'varsity team. The second reason for the revival of scrub matches still remains in force, and to us it seems to be the one of most consequence. The small amount of open-air exercise taken by the majority of undergraduates has often called forth a great deal of unfavorable comment, and fairly enough, too. Tennis has, it is true, gone far toward establishing a new order of things, yet even tennis can hardly claim to offer itself as a substitute...

...Boston Young Men's Christian Union were favored with a lecture by Dr. Sargent on "How to get Recreation and Exercise" leads naturally enough to the inquiry why the undergraduates of Harvard are not allowed to listen to a similar lecture from this gentleman.

Cannot we hope to have one more informal open-air concert by the glee club before the term closes? The evenings are now so delightful, and the work so nearly over that everyone can fully appreciate an hour of song and music after dinner, as was well demonstrated by the attendance which the guitar playing and singing one evening early this week attracted, and that too, in the very middle of the finals. Moreover, the present senior class contains so many men with trained voices of good quality that the students will consider it a great treat if they...

...drag around an impossible rapid, or over a portage from one stream to another. No other craft permits its owner these priceless privileges, and hence the canx, having made that possible which was before impossible, is an invention of incalculable value to the lover of nature and of open-air sports...
