Last evening the Rev. Philip S. Moxon preached in Appleton Chapel. The sermon was upon the death of spiritual life. Many men who have come to a low degree of righteousness are characterized by bestiality and all the lower forms of vice, but there is a still larger class who have lost all power to distinguish between right and wrong in matters that are considered generally of very little moment; but this insensibility to spiritual things is fully as bad as is that which is popularly called vice...
...Inter-collegiate Association. It was Cornell that was winning the cup year after year. So that even if it could be said of Harvard and Yale's withdrawing from the Intercollegiate Boating Association that it was with a view of enabling one or the other of them to always come in first anyhow, how can anything be said in opposition to the proposed league of Harvard, Yale and Princeton in base-ball.

But on the fact of that influence I would lay stress, and consequently on the sequent fact that much of the matter and of the form - allowing of course for intrinsic difference of language - of our lighter literature has come from Paris - for instance, the kind of short stories that seems to be the prevailing type of American writing now, is, I think, almost altogether a graft from French stock, such writings as Zola's "Contes a Nanon," Guyde Maupassant's somewhat vile anecdotes, and Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" being...
