Encouraged by the success of the road-race with Technology last week, the Bicycle Club has decided to challenge the Yale club to a similar race next spring. If the plan is carried out it will add another to the list of championship contests between Yale and Harvard. Of course it will be impossible to arouse as general an interest in bicycling as exists in foot-ball, base-ball, or rowing, but a race like the one proposed will tend to lift bicycling from the comparatively insignificant place it now holds as a college sport. Yale has many good riders...

Our university is certainly large enough to support such a quarterly, and the advantages to be derived from it would be considerable. In many of our departments work is now done very creditable to the college and the individuals alike; and the aggregate amount of this special work is quite sufficient to fill a fair-sized quarterly. The privilege, too, of having...
...allowed to lag, but rather may be encouraged as much as possible in the future, we would suggest to the football management that a series of amateur matches be instituted and a set of cups be offered for the winners. We make the suggestion now, that, if the plan be considered worthy of trial, what few measures are necessary may be taken when the time of the manager is the least likely to be filled with the regular duties of his office...
