Outing.

The January Outing - the holiday number - comes to us abounding in stories of snow and winter. That tale which would prove the most interesting to Harvard men is "A Christmas Ascent of Mount Adams," and because the author is himself an undergraduate - J. Corbin '92. The story is the description of an ascent of a mountain and deals almost entirely with the account of the climb and return. It is in parts cleverly written and is interesting, which is always praise. Walter Camp contributes a practical article on "Training." He points out the difference in the meaning of the term "training" now and what it was some years ago, but the main part of his article deals with the several apparatus in a gymnasium, which may prove of use to an athlete. There is an article on "Winter Photography" which will interest young photographers and there are a couple of articles of interest to the hunter. The number contains two or three clever pieces of fiction. "The Bear's-Head Brooch" occupies the place of honor; in it a prospector's life is well treated. The number is full of very good illustrations and makes a decidedly entertaining magazine.
