Since the excitement consequent to the sparring contest at the winter meeting has died out and it is too far into the future to predict anything about those which shall occur next year, the present seems a most advisable time for discussing a change in regard to them. Some few complaints have been made from time to time against allowing any boxing whatsoever at the meetings, but that any such radical change will be made, or even that such a move would be desirable, we do not believe. But there is one point that has been gradually forced upon the notice of every one who has attended the meetings, namely, that such vigorous contests as are yearly witnessed, are not suitable exhibitions for a Ladies' Day. It is an almost inevitable conclusion that some blood must be spilled if the sparring is at all hard, and "posing matches" do not seem to be held in high favor among the undergraduates here at Harvard, if one may judge from the current conversations at the meeting. The most sensible plan seems to be to put all the sparring on the first day when no ladies are present, and when it would not be as much out of place as it certainly is now. Such a change, we feel sure, would meet with the approbation of all, and we commend it to the consideration of the Athletic Association.
