...religious services of the college. There was certainly a noticeable increase in the number of men present at prayers last week and few services have been held in Appleton Chapel more impressive and earnest than the opening Sunday services a week ago. Dr. Peabody and his associates have reason for renewed conviction as to the wisdom of our religious system. With the experience of two years behind us, we know that the bright outlook for the coming winter will not be falsified. Mr. Locke has strengthened the chapel choir by the addition of new members and the volume and tone...
...athletics are in a very prosperous condition. Of course, the all-absorbing topic at present is foot ball. From present indications we have reason to expect a very good team. Cowan, Hodge, Bovaird, Irvine, Ames, George and Channing, of last year's eleven, are back, and Cook, ex-'89, has returned to college and is playing his old position-Moray, who played half-back for Andover last year, is playing a fine game, while Akerman, Bickham, Janeway, Poe, Riggs and Ferdinand may also be mentioned as promising candidates. The management has arranged for eight practice games with Crescents...
...Association should arrange for the annual series of hare and hounds runs. Owing to the excellent good sense shown in the management of these runs cross country last fall, they were highly successful, and for those who needed systematic exercise twice a week at least, and who for one reason or another could not play foot-ball, hare and hounds afforded the very best means for vigorous recreation. For those who hope to become members of the Mott Haven team as long-distance runners, no better opportunity for increasing their powers of endurance could be afforded them. The interest evinced...
...point out the reason why the crew proved so slow would lead us too deeply into the study of their style of rowing, but in general the cause seems to lie in the failure to profit by the experience of recent years, inasmuch as the whole system of organization and management introduced by Storrow in 1885 was completely disregarded because the crews in the crews in the two succeeding years were defeated. The Yale and Columbia crews of 1886 beat Harvard after close races because they adopted, to a considerable extent, the same system and ideas that Storrow had taught...
...arrangement is superior to the rowing machines heretofore in vogue, and Harvard would do well to imitate her rival in this matter. With the abolition of the arbitrary system by which the crew was controlled last year and the appointment of a competent advisory committee, there is no reason why Harvard should not turn out a good crew this year from the excellent material now in college. Unless the tables are turned soon, the interest in rowing will decline, for neither college can maintain any excitement over a continually one-sided contest...
