...trustees of the Dudleian Lectures have appointed Rev. William Lawrence Sullivan, minister of All-Souls' Church, New York, to give the Dudleian lecture for the current academic year. The lecture will be given in the New Lecture Hall, Tuesday evening, April 3, at 8 o'clock, and will be open to the public. The subject is the first of the series prescribed by its founder, Judge Paul Dudley in 1750, namely, "Natural Religion...
...Union yesterday evening before a gathering of over 200 high school principals of Massachusetts President Eliot set forth his opinions on the elective system in schools as well as colleges, the value of physical instruction and the teaching of hygiene in the secondary schools, and various other questions of current interest to the educators of the country.

Notwithstanding the minor faults,--among which I would place the occasional faults in the composition mentioned above, the use of full-page cartoons, which seem rather flippant and cheap for a serious college pictorial, and the glaring double-page "ad" in the exact centre of the paper,--the issue is very creditable. It reflects University life in its clever photographs, and echoes the present universal stir for real preparedness in a way which should fully satisfy the most broad-minded among...
