IN another column will be found a full account of the proposed athletic meetings in which the classes are to compete. The scheme appears to us the best that has yet been devised for increasing the number of contestants, and for improving the records. By it, not only the champions of the College, but the champions of each class will be given due prominence; and to win his class-championship should be incentive enough for any one to do his best, even if he cannot bear away the highest prize. A system similar to this has largely contributed to the success of the English University athletes. There, each of the more important colleges holds a preliminary meeting, and the winners then compete for the University championship. The principle which has gained ground here of late, in athletics, o making the contests class matters, is an admirable one, an??? has proved itself far superior to the old schemes, in the revival of interest in rowing and base ball. Nor is there any reason why, if properly followed up in the present instance, it should not be equally successful.
