...understand that the leader of the brass band is having no little difficulty in getting the men in the band together for practice. The college depends on the band, not, to be sure, for the winning of some new championship from Yale, but rather for some good outdoor concerts later in the spring. The band too is an organization which is destined materially to help Harvard's reputation for musical ability. We hope therefore that in neither of these particulars, enjoyment or reputation, the college is to be disappointed. A little practice now on the part of the members...
...Annex, the examinations in other cities being carried on as heretofore. Greek is the favorite study of the young ladies; and mathematics, the other languages, botany and philosophy were also well attended during the past year.

The Canoe Club made a good beginning last spring, by holding a successful regatta; why cannot the experiment be repeated this fall? There can certainly be no better way to arouse interest in the sport. The number...
...upon the college, and the marked changes in our athletic grounds this spring emphasize this need even more strongly than ever before. The gradual usurpations of the university teams, whose name, in truth, is legion, upon the grounds that have hitherto been given up to tennis, or to any outdoor exercise of those men who did not play on any of the teams, while it may be necessary so long as the teams hold their present position, is yet much to be regretted. There is, perhaps, no sport in college in such general favor as tennis, and to have...
