Magazine Articles by Harvard Men.

A number of interesting articles by Harvard men appear in the November magazines. "The International Monthly" prints the concluding chapters of Professor Munsterberg's "American Democracy," and an article by Dean Shaler on "The Future of the Gold Supply." President Roosevelt's article, "With the Congar Hounds," and the seventh chapter of "Russia of Today," by Henry Norman '81, in Scribner's, "Reminiscences of a Dramatic Critic" by H. A. Clapp '60 and "The Solitude of Nathaniel Hawthorne" by P. F. More '93, in the "Atlantic"--are especially interesting articles.

"The Forum" contains an excellent article, by Price Collier '82 on "Ethics of Ancient and Modern Athletics." The writer begins with a very brief sketch of the origin and nature of our "modern system of athletic sports," which was introduced about 1812 by the Military College at Sandhurst, England, and compares the old Greek athletics,--their rules, methods and manners--with our own. Then follow several descriptions of ancient athletic contests as they have been recorded by Virgil--the boat races, the foot races, the wrestling contests, the sparring match and the archery contest of Anchises' funeral games. With these pictures of the Roman games and their standards of competition are contrasted descriptions of our modern college athletics and the contrast, as Mr. Collier draws it, is certainly unfavorable to the ancients. The article is worth reading to anyone who wishes to learn a little of the ancient methods of conducting athletic games.
