...gymnasium. That they should have the exclusive use of them during certain portions of every afternoon is a custom the justice of which may well be doubted. We are inclined to think that it is not quite fair for the unorganized mass of students, and wish to suggest a remedy. At the very time when there are most men in the gymnasium taking their regular exercise the weights can not be approached, as a usual thing, because some crew or nine is at work there. Consequently, all the other men have to delay their exercise an unnecessary length of time...
...Athletic Games on Greek Art;" "The Spirit of the Art of Phidias." These subjects we know are of fully as great interest to the student of Harvard as of Columbia. It the Harvard Art Club had given any assurance of the least vitality during the present year, we would suggest that it make an effort to induce Dr. Waldstein to repeat his lectures in Cambridge.

In this connection we would suggest that it would be a pleasing custom to establish, if, when such visitors are present, a reception might be offered them by some one of the societies or clubs of the college. If also graduates and professors could be invited to such receptions an excellent feature of college life would...
...perhaps unnecessary to criticize the singing of the Glee Club, which is justified by its great popularity. We venture to suggest, however, that while it is characterized by great accuracy and precision, there is about it a certain stiffness and lack of sentiment. The modulation, crescendos, decrescendos are not so much attended to as one mingt expect. The voices are exclleent and the men in good training. if they could be led to sing with a little more sympathy their glees would be greatly improved. The faults to be found with the Pierian Sodality are precisely supplementary to these...
