EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: There is probably no institution of Harvard University with which less fault can be found than the gymnasium. But lately there has grown up a grievance there which well deserves the condemnation it receives. I refer to the insufficient supply of hot water in the bath-rooms. I do not know exactly what time the hot water gives out, but I know that no man on the '85 crew has been able to find a drop of warm water for some time, and I believe some of the other crews find things the same way.

...Exonian being vapid, and conveying the idea that it consists chiefly of advertisements. The Notre Dame Scholastic is, on the whole, interesting, though peculiar, and gives the impression that it is not entirely free from censorship.

...should like to advocate a measure which I am sure will meet with the approbation of most of the fair-minded men of the college, and which deserves the attention of every person who believes in keeping the college sports free from all manifestation of the "mucker" spirit. I refer to the advisability of giving up our annual Yale game of foot-ball. I believe that after the exhibition given us by Yale last Saturday, that every Harvard man who wishes to keep up the tone of college athletics, will approve of any action taken by the eleven...

...Howard Crosby, in an address on "The Errors of our Collegiate Institutions," before the Phi Beta Kappa alumni, in New York, Thursday evening, said in concluding his remarks: "The only other mistake common to our colleges to which I will now refer, is the fostering of boat clubs and ball clubs. That young men should in time of relaxation go out on the green and have a good game of ball, or should go down to the river and have a row, is most natural and commendable, but that they should form clubs for training, and spend months...
