...second number of the Advocate issued by the '89 board cannot be said to equal the first number. The articles have a uniformity, a lack of individuality that is quite noticeable; still they contain much that is good. The spirit of the editorials is in harmony with a growing feeling at Harvard; a feeling that we as students have serious business on our hands in the effort to awaken enthusiasm for the University. The Advocate has not lost its character as a staunch supporter of college interests...
...courses in political economy should be very grateful for the establishment of the special library in University and for the prompt granting of the request to have the library open until 10 p. m. It seems a pity that the whole pleasure and convenience in using the library should still be spoiled by careless management of the heating arrangements. The room should be comfortably warm (and I myself am not a fresh air fiend), but when it gets so hot that one is very apt to fall asleep and dream of purgatory, the study of serious matters is wrongly interfered...
...gymnasium is crowded every afternoon. The number of candidates for the University and freshman nines has not changed, and the exercise remains the same-base-sliding, hand-ball and running.

The wrestling class still continues, and many men are practicing on the rings and the parallel and horizontal bars.

Cowles of the '86 crew, and Capt. John Rogers of the '87 crew, are both still in the University, and an effort has been made to get them to row. So far it has met with no success. If Caldwell, Cowles and Rodgers would all consent to go back into the boat Yale could put a crew on the water that would be almost invincible...
...William Appleton will be one of the judges. The entries for the sparing are numerous. Among the Harvard men that will spar are Putnam, '91, and Walters, '91, for the feather-weight events, and Bangs, '91, in the middle-weight. Curtis, '90, will not spar, as his hand is still too weak, but will nevertheless go in the standing high jump...
