SUNDAY.

In Cambridge Sunday is undoubtedly the most boring day imaginable, and is yet the one day of the week on which an undergraduate can devote eight or ten hours to the work of his courses. If Sunday was less monotonous, many more men would undoubtedly remain in Cambridge to work, and fewer would seize any pretext at hand for going away. One reason why there is no variety connected with a Cambridge Sunday, is that there are no facilities for vigorous exercise. The tennis courts on Jarvis and Soldiers Fields as well as the boat-houses cannot be used.

In many cities there are legal obstacles to indulging in outdoor exercise within certain distances of churches, but the tennis courts on Soldiers Field at least are remote enough from any places of worship to remove all difficulty with the law. The University authorities are endeavoring to increase the number of men who take regular outdoor exercise. Does not the privilege of taking exercise on Sunday accord with this policy, and would it not besides benefit as many men as some of the minor scrub athletic series?
