With today's meeting the athletic season of 1882 may be said to fairly open for Harvard. Though it can hardly be said that out-door sports will be fully inaugurated until after the April recess, yet the first formal athletic event of general interest to the entire university is today's gymnastic exhibition; with it "ye Harvard men" shake off the lethargy of the winter, cull out their first holiday, and flock in festive throngs to admire and applaud the prowess and industry of their brother athletes. The great examination in Gymnastics 1, advanced sections, is posted on today...
...athletic season may be fairly said to have opened yesterday. With the return of springlike weather the opportunity for out-door work is eagerly taken advantage of, and the change from the monotony of the gymnasium routine is fully enjoyed. Jarvis and Holmes will soon be lively with the practising nines and various teams of cricket, lacrosse and tennis players.

Bicyclers, too, will soon be able to enjoy their rides over smooth, hard roads, and those fond of pedestrian jaunts...

We find the meeting-room hung with trophies, and photographs of noted athletes, all of which represent out-door events, and victories on land and water. Our winter meetings in the gymnasium are popular and profitable, and often represent a deal of athletic practice and training, but we fail to find any pictorial or tablet records of them, except in one or two cases. All the events peculiar...
Life at Wellesley is quite pleasant now. Although our out-door sports are limited, on account of the vast drifts of snow, yet we do not lack exercise. Gymnastics have begun and most all the students practice; not with Indian clubs, the trapeze, etc., but in ways very enjoyable to all, nevertheless. Within the past three weeks, our entertainments have been quite numerous for Wellesley. Prof. Adams, of Michigan University, has given us two lectures, "A Day in the House of Commons" and "Papacy in the Middle Ages." The former was especially interesting. Prof. Adams related in a vivid...
