...announcement that a new campus is to be added to the present fields which can be used by the students for athletic purposes solves a difficulty which has long puzzled those most intimately interested in the athletic success of our teams. The utter inadequacy of the present fields to supply the space needed for the proper development of the different athletic teams has long been apparent. To this cause, almost as much as to any other, may be attributed the poor success of Harvard in athletic contests during recent years. Teams desiring to secure outdoor work have been compelled...
...team was held in the trophy room of the gymnasium last evening. Only eleven men presented themselves, and of these only three have ever pulled on a tug-of-war team. The outlook at present, therefore, for a good team is far from encouraging. It shows an utter lack of spirit and enthusiasm on the part of the freshmen when out of a class of three hundred only eleven men are willing to try for positions on the team.

Hence it is not surprising that only two cities, Mecca and Medina, exist within their borders. The three characteristics of the Arab race are, tribal isolation, love of poetry, and utter lack of religion. Union of the scattered tribes was impossible, and the people remained dormant for centuries, on account of the lack of combined effort. War was the business life and poetry the only unwarlike enjoyment, and, in fact, almost the only means of artistic expression...
