Notwithstanding the bad weather, a large audience attended the vesper service yesterday afternoon at Appleton Chapel. After a prayer by Dr. Alexander McKenzie, the congregation read responsively the 33d Psalm. Dr. McKenzie next read from the Revised Version the parable of the "Ten Talents." The lesson of this parable is that a man should adapt himself to circumstances. The demands made upon a man by modern life are, notwithstanding all its appliances and inventions, much more severe than at any time in the past.

...years. Many thought that it had been burned in the celebration of some athletic victory, but recent disclosures have proved this supposition false. When the Yale faculty decided last spring that the fence had to be removed to make room for a new recitation hall, a great deal of bad feeling between the student body and the faculty resulted. All efforts on the part of graduates and of undergraduates to save the fence from destruction were of no avail. After the final decision of the faculty, preparations were made by the undergraduates, especially by the senior societies, to tear down...
