President Eliot delivered an address at the first public meeting of the Harvard Religious Union in Holden Chapel last night. The chapel was well filled. President Eliot discussed religious union, saying that a clear idea is needed of what it must aim at, and of what it must be. Many serious mistakes have been made in the matter.

If the club is admitted to the exchange, sets of slides will...
...time during his course. The freshman club is not altogether an end in itself from the fact that from its best men must come, later in the course, the nucleus of the 'varsity club. Yet in another sense the club is an end in itself and has one great aim. Aside from the fun of the thing, and the preparation which it gives for the 'varsity, its special mission is the financial support of the class crew. Each year the freshman club gives one concert the proceeds of which go entirely to the crew. At the trial tonight men will...
