...success of Dr. Sargent's five o'clock class in gymnasium work disproves the theory that there are no opportunities for exercise offered the class of Harvard students who have neither time nor ability to work with the various athletic teams.

Although 300 men signed for the class at the beginning of the year, and it seemed that two classes would have to be formed for lack of accommodations, there has been ample room every afternoon for the men present...
Endeavors to introduce out-of-door athletics at Wellesley have met with marked success. Up to the opening of 1892 no systematic out-of-door work had been given the students.

This fall the Cercle Francais gives its seventh annual dramatic performance. The past two or three years it has attempted with great success the reproduction of some of the better known French plays, and this year promises to be its best effort.

Almost every one is today aware of the rapid progress and astonishing success of the Society, which enlarged its numbers and became a legal corporation in 1892; but probably few realize how largely this progress and success are due to the kindness of the members of the Harvard board of instructors. Ever since the earliest days of the society, professors and instructors alike have willingly offered their services for a remuneration which has of itself been but a slight incentive to undertake the work; but their reward has been great in the gratitude of the society.
