...notice that Prince Serge Wolkonsky, who delighted so many of the students by his lecture Wednesday night, is to give another Ircture in Sanders Theatre Monday night. This time his theme will be secular rather than religious, and the broader field with which he will deal will probably attract enough more people to justify the change of place of holding the lecture from Sever 11 to Sanders...
...Magazine was, of course, primarily intended for the alumni; but it is not for that reason less interesting to the average undergraduate. The interests of the graduate are necessarily with the present of the University as well as with the past, and in consequence the subjects which attract his attention are generally equally interesting to the student body.

...when they are offered them and not thrust upon them. Still further, the influence of religion loses its force on men when they are compelled, whether they will or no, to hear it preached to them. The successful way to draw college men to thoughts of religion is to attract them to religious services, not force them there. The system has succeeded with us, and it would have been better spirited for the University of Chicago to have inaugurated it with the student body there. The daily paper of the university has expressed these same opinions...
