A young man who devotes himself exclusively to boxing, develops his legs somewhat at the expense of the rest of his body, and, in order to compel a uniform growth of his physical powers, he should row, wrestle, run, swing on the bars, and, by all means, use dumb bells and Indian clubs. It was Dr. Franklin's opinion that walking is the best form of exercise, but the doctor was not familiar with the light shells and the sliding-seat of the modern art of rowing.

The cage has not been finished yet and it seems doubtful at present whether it will be ready for use for some time, though it was expected that practice could begin there immediately upon the re opening of college. A rather erroneous opinion of Princeton's prospects for a nine seem to have become current, and one much too favorable to her. There is good material here and Capt. Wagenhurst...
...York, $4500 for prosecuting researches in stellar photography; Robert Waterston, $1000 for the library; Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture, $2000 for salaries in the herbarium; Martin Brimmer, $2000; and John L. Gardner, $5000 toward the addition to the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The total amount of gifts for immediate use is $36,024.59, and of gifts to form new funds or increase old ones, $987,551.14. The gifts from George W. Childs of a memorial window of the late Prof. Henry W. Long-fellow, to be placed in Memorial Hall, and from William E. Sparks, the historical manuscripts which belonged...
