...believe that all the American colleges, excepting Harvard, have an annual publication of the same nature as the Dartmouth "Aegis," which has just come to my notice. The nearest thing that we have to it at Harvard is the "Index," but our Index is not to be compared with the elaborate affair published by Dartmouth and other colleges. Our "Index" is for use and convenience only, but such a publication as the "Aegis" not only embodies a full college directory, but has hard "grinds" on the students and the faculty as well, sketches of college life, cartoons...
...eleven. Yale will also have a good team, although fewer old players are left than at Princeton or Harvard. But Yale can easily fill up the gaps from the class teams which played considerably this fall and held an inter-class championship. Such a championship is not an unlikely thing for Harvard during the coming season. Eighty-five has a large number of players on the University team and these aided by some of the men in the class who have played formerly, ought to enable the seniors to put a good team in the field. Eighty-Six is more...

A few years ago, when the Homenway Gymnasium was first opened, similar squads for practical and systematic use of the building were organized by Dr. Sargent, and the number of men working together was large. Since that year the work of the director has increased in other directions, and the regular squads were given up. The idea in reviving the practice this year is to benefit unattached workers in the gymnasium as well as the regular university teams. The latter will keep on in the old way, exercising...
...that men should go to the gymnasium and put down their names for some one of the squads and then leaders can be selected and assigned. Leaders need not be great experts themselves if they are only men who will go ahead and lead the way from one thing to another. Organizations will, as formerly, have the right of way at the chest-weights and other apparatus. The rule of the gymnasium has always been to do the greatest good to the greatest number...
