...training. A glance at the gymnasium on any afternoon or evening discloses a state of affairs which is highly creditable to the college. All the apparatus is in use, and not only by the men who are training for positions on our various teams, but also by the students whose only object is to obtain more private exercise. When the Hemenway Gymnasium was first built, it was thought that it would prove sufficient for the needs of the college for many years.

On either side of the reading room were alcoves, filled to repletion with still more books, while on the wall hung portraits of the past benefactors of the university, to whose munificence the students of Harvard owe this magnificent collection of volumes, forming the largest and most complete college library in America, Though it was early in the afternoon, we noticed that the library was gradually growing dark, and that the students were slowly, and, as it seemed, reluctantly, leaving the building...
