...full bodily development of which he is capable. To this end the exercise will not as in former years, be limited to rowing and during a few months the work at the chest weights and running; but throughout the year each man will be expected to exercise that part of his body or those muscles which are weakest. If a man is not strong in the arms dumb bell work is prescribed, or if he is weak in the back, certain movements in bending every day will, it is hoped, considerably strengthen it by the end of the year...

A day and a half at Thanksgiving time is worth, to the students more than two, three, or four days in September. Still, as matters go now, the students, or a large part of them, get both. The same reasoning that has been given concerning Washington's Birthday does not apply Thanksgiving. It has been argued that, because Harvard was born before ever Washington was, there is no occasion for Harvard's recognizing the great general's birthday. It is certainly a fact that...
