WE are glad to learn that the Athletic Association has decided to have the finish line, in our Spring Sports on May 19, at diagonally the opposite corner of the track from the present finish line. By this means, although it will not be as convenient for the spectators, the validity of the records made will be unquestioned; and we shall hope to see more than one of the best-on-record medals (which have been offered for any Harvard athlete who breaks a best American college record) claimed on that day. In connection with the sports, we cannot refrain from expressing our pleasure at the action of the Faculty in granting the Association an afternoon in the week for their games, as well as liberty to all instructors to omit their recitations on that afternoon. It shows how willing is the Faculty to co-operate with the students in their sports, whenever it can be done consistently with good judgment, and we heartily congratulate ourselves that such is the case.
