...this recurring change will undoubtedly be in the highest degree beneficial to the general work. Let the rebuke of the ardent west against godless Harvard now be modified in tone. What if university prayer meetings are less attractive to the students than evening celebrations, as our contemporary the Clarion complains?

We strongly urge the Advocate to keep some of its valuable columns reserved, in the hope that, before the next issue, the lagging journal...
