...Faculty of Harvard University has been considering seriously the advisability of establishing compulsory physical exercise for all undergraduates. The Overseers have recommended such a course for the Freshmen, and during the present week some definite plan for next year may be adopted. Other universities and colleges will be apt to poke a great deal of fun at Harvard for allowing such tremendous liberties in courses, attendance, religious worship, etc, only to draw a disciplinary line in athletics.

...collecting here or anywhere know but too well that the only way to get money out of a man is to "dun" him in person. The postal card method has been tried before on classes which in the end subscribed liberally toward their crews, and found decidedly wanting. The present Senior class, which has now a large surplus in its crew treasury, will remember that in its Sophomore year, over-confidence in the postal method nearly proved disastrous. A very possible solution of the present problem may thus be for some 1901 men to volunteer as collectors and get right...
