...omit to say that I have had abundant opportunity to discuss the subject with friends connected with the physical and mathematical sciences, and I have found them almost without exception firm in the same conviction." The main point is very emphatically touched upon by the university faculty in their report of 1869. "In regard to the natural sciences, the most mutable of our chemists and physicists, as well as the representatives of the other departments, agree that the students from the Gymnasia on the average accomplish more. It is the general experience that the foretastes of these sciences obtained...
...number of twenty-four on the subject of college athletics, Friday afternoon, resulted in an interesting and suggestive discussion of the question in its various aspects as suggested by the recent course of the faculty and the faculty committee on athletics and by President Eliot's recent report.

The most pressing need of the college, according to the president's report, is more unencumbered money for running expenses. The treasurer's report states that the percentage of returns for capital invested was smaller for 1883 than the year before, and that this decrease is likely to continue as long as there is so much spare capital seeking investment.
