...exercises of the gymnasium and the stadium that the art of sculpture, full of the divine thought, begot the Apollo of Belvidere. The Greek idea, that body and mind work together and that it cannot be well with the one if it be ill with the other, might seem an axiom whose self-evidence could be questioned only in a fit of insane infatuation. Yet for ages the truth was lost sight of, and indeed was supplanted by the antagonistic error, namely, that if we would cultivate and develop the soul, we must oppress and dishonor the tabernacle in which...
...this time of year, when everyone is in the midst of mid-year examinations, it may seem inopportune to urge men to make an effort to attend the chapel exercises in the morning. The exercises, however, take but a few moments, and come at a time when the short minutes they occupy can easily be spared even at this busy period of the year...

One is compelled to sit and shiver, not able...
...gymnasium on Saturday afternoons is ridiculously small, and the number of competitions is so few that there can be little doubt that the advantage which it was desired should be gained will amount almost to nothing. On Saturday last no one appeared for the pole-vault. It may seem that when the spring comes the best work is to be done. This is a mistake. It is the mid-winter training that brings out the winners in the spring contests, and if the Mott Haven cup is to reappear here it will come about by the labors of January...
