...example of the difficulty under which our athletic teams labor in obtaining early out-of-door practice. The majority of our college rivals have already had field practice for a fortnight or more, while we here at Cambridge have not only been unable to secure any reasonable amount of open-air work as yet, but must, it would seem, be even now in uncertainty as to whether we are to get fairly to work during this week.

As far as the college owing anything to the club is concerned, we think it the right of the college to expect the open-air concerts from the club. By giving such concerts, the club earns the right to expect its own regular concerts to be patronized. While the two senior societies have gone to the trouble of giving theatricals in favor of the boat club, the Glee Club was unable or unwilling...
