...Saturday afternoon the Harvard eleven met the representatives of Ottawa college at the Rideau Hall grounds. Ottawa. This is the first trip to Canada made by a Harvard team for several years. The last time, our team was successful, and we are happy to say, the result on Saturday was no less favorable. The game was a closely contested one, resulting in a final score of 20 points to 6. After the match the president of the Ottawa Club entertained the eleven at dinner at the Russell House...
...body and mind for strength and endurance have an injurious effect. Of course there are extremes in all things, and too much time and brains spent on such recreations as base ball or foot ball are badly spent. Still, acknowledging the evils of extreme cases, one can certainly say with truth that good active exercise, which calls into play the muscles of both body and mind, is extremely beneficial. The more a man is interested in, the more he sets his mind upon his exercise, the greater good he will derive from it. Foot ball and base ball require exertion...
...five flights of stairs in the dormitories and argue that these stairs are their gymnasium, their base ball, and their tennis. Indeed a man at the top of Weld or Matthews is almost excusable for thus arguing. But still such little fits of exercise, that may be gotten, say between Holyoke and Sever, amount to almost nothing. They are mere apologies for exercise, and are about as satisfactory as a small piece of bread and butter to a hungry man. Men who can content themselves with these apologies for exercise make a great mistake. It is universally acknowledged that everybody...
Yale has seven of her last year's crew back, if we include Mr. Parrott. He, however, has stated that he would not row this year; and those who are acquainted with his work in the past will say, that although he will be very much missed, yet he has earned by his faithful work the right of suiting his own convenience. The loss of Scott, '84, who rowed starboard stroke will also be deeply felt. He was generally admitted to be the handsomest oar in the boat, and then, too, his position is an unusually hard one to fill...
...ascend the staircase and find yourself in what appears to be a very bare and uninteresting room. Be not deceived; its treasures like those of the earth, must be sought after in order to be found. There are things which must attract every one's attention, but let me say that it is a veritable paradise for cranks-I mean such cranks as coincollectors, bibliophilists and autographic fiends. How their hands must itch to see lying before their eyes such unattainable treasures...
