HARVARD indifference to athletics - it belongs strictly to Harvard, as it never appears in other colleges - we have often discussed, because it is one of our most dangerous opponents in intercollegiate contests. We wish again to warn the members of the University against this insidious foe, which this year is on a greater increase than ever before. The Yale News states that Harvard is straining every nerve for victory in the spring. This is true so far as it concerns the men who are now training for the "'Varsity" and Nine, but it is not true of those outside of them. When our men are working hard to retrieve Harvard's defeats of last season, their training is certainly made less monotonous and more earnest and attractive if they feel that the eyes of all the University are upon them. As it is at present, the 'Varsity row every day, rain or shine, and the Nine practise daily in the Gymnasium, and yet not a man takes enough interest to watch and give them an encouraging word. Last year after the race, members of the 'Varsity were heard to complain of this very treatment. Harvard will have to work very hard for success next year, and we hope that every man will consider it his duty, whenever it is possible, to encourage our men while practising by his presence.
