Although no absolutely correct idea of the relative strength of the different college nines can be obtained from a comparison of the games played, the following table may be of some interest. Brown has practically finished her series. Yale plays her deciding game with Princeton tomorrow and will probably not play off the tie with Pennsylvania. Harvard has still her Yale games to play. It must be remembered that Harvard has played the last three games under unfortunate conditions...
...Harvard Graduates' Magazine for June is out. As frontispiece is a portrait of President Eliot, engraved by G. Kruell. The likeness is admirable. It is especially interesting in comparison with Mr. Eliot's class photograph, which is reproduced farther on in the number. The two are given in connection with a general review of President Eliot's administration of twenty-five years...

In his sermon the minister should be careful not to express ideas which challenge direct comparison with the theories of such world-leaders as St. John and St. Paul. The lifting of the voice in prayer is the last and most important feature of the ritual. The object of the service is to bring the congregation in touch with the spirit of the God who presides over them...
