In two particulars Harvard may unquestionably claim superiority over all other colleges in America, in her library and in her gymnasium. Yet, strange to say, of no two things do Harvard men seem less appreciative. The gymnasium and library are both used by a large number of men, but not by as many men as ought to use them. We do not think it necessary to enumerate the advantages of either of these institutions, but we do think that a little urging is not out of place. Different though the institutions are in the ends for which they were built, their benefit are of about equal value. The man who is at once well read and physically well developed, has chance in his favor that his life will not be a failure.
