...needless to tell those who have thought intelligently of the problem of physical development that Professor Sargent approves of boxing in its place and in moderation for certain people. It makes slow and heavy men active and energetic, improving 'the functional capacity of heart and lungs and stimulating the nervous system.' It makes non-combative men self-reliant and self-respectful. We might add to the professor's statement that boxing brings a large number of muscles into play, and is a good strengthener of the arms, back, and, above all, the legs; that it deepens the chest and strengthens...
...before the time appointed for Prof. Adler to deliver his lecture on "Ethics and Culture," all the seats especially reserved for Harvard students as well as those open to the public, were filled by an eager audience. Prof. Adler was briefly introduced by Prof. James, and in an easy, slow and dignified manner began by defining the meaning of ethics and culture.

On some of the runs it has been very disagreeable, and even dangerous, for the fast runners to be obliged to wait continually for slow men to catch up. I think there will be a large attendance at a fast hunt if the Association will only organize...
...break was made across Boylston bridge and up that street to the gymnasium. The first hares in were Cogswell, '88, Harlow, '88 and Miles, '88. They found that the hares had arrived about half an hour before them. The length of the run was about ten miles, slow hunt, and the scent was very plainly laid. The main body of the hounds were greatly hampered by a few of their number who persisted in keeping far in the rear. Hereafter two hunts a week will be given, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and undoubtedly a large number will be ready...
