The announcement of the athletic association which appeared yesterday in our columns, ought to have the desired effect in bringing out more men as candidates for the inter-collegiate contests. The loss of several men who for years have been reasonably sure of winning one or more prizes for Harvard, will be a difficult one to overcome, and can be only met by a determined effort on the part of new men to do the best within their power.
Although we shall probably feel the loss of a trainer more this year than in any previous year, the association is taking the right steps to obviate the difficulty, by promising to have its stewards on the track at certain hours of the day to instruct any one who may need their assistance. As one more victory will put the cup forever in our hands, we hope the efforts of the association and the hopes of the college will meet the success which they deserve.
