THE new Gymnasium was opened to the University last Thursday, and all who have visited it recognize that Mr. Hemenway could not have made a wiser gift. The completeness of the appointments prove the wisdom of selecting Dr. Sargent to superintend their preparation, and those who have been impatient for the opening of the building must feel that they could well afford to wait for the perfecting of such advantages as the Gymnasium now offers. There is nothing more to be desired in the building except a full attendance of students of all departments of the University. No student can afford to neglect the twofold opportunity for physical culture which is furnished by a competent instructor and better apparatus than can be found in any other gymnasium in the country. There is opportunity now for all to train without danger of injury, and there is no reason why the so-called hot-house scholar should not at once become extinct at Harvard. There is no end to the good of this nature which the Gymnasium may do, and it only remains for the University to show its appreciation of Mr. Hemenway's gift by making the proper use of it at once.
