The Harvard Cycling Association has us t made the announcement of its second annual spring meeting, to be held May 23. The first meeting, held last year, was not properly supported by the college and was not the success which it should have been. The association, relying beforehand on the support which the college should have given it, unwisely made more expensive preparations than its funds warranted. The result was that the Cycling Association began its work this year with a very considerable debt on its hands. After hard and praiseworthy work, the association has, we understand, paid off this debt; and now starts out afresh.

It is unlikely, we imagine, that the association will repeat its mistake of last year of not having its support assured beforehand. We understand that already enough funds have been secured to warrant the carrying on of the arrangements. To ensure success, however, the association will need far more generous support from the college. The work of the Cycling Association is a direct aid in the development of our material for the track athletic games with Yale and the other colleges. If our college recognized this fact more plainly, we should not now have to urge its more loyal support to the association.
