...Whether it be the already existing Art Club that takes the initiative, or the instructors in the art department, something ought to be done towards encouraging further collections of good artistic productions. The educational influence of plaster and painted works of art is too well known to need further support. Though the Boston Museum of Art affords a very fine store of such works, we very much fear that the number of Harvard men to be found in its halls is small. If we had even a much inferior collection near at hand, good results would no doubt follow...

This was the case with the Observatory, which did not repay the outlay made upon it at first, although this has since been made up by handsome endowments, especially the endowment made by Uriah Boyden...

We shall always maintain that Harvard had the best nine in the league of 1886, and that nothing but a series of accidents lost her the championship; in support of this view the figures now published need only be referred to, and the general playing of the nine last year need only be recalled; but spite of that, we lost the championship. These figures as a remainder of what has been should stimulate the nine to dispense with accidents during...
