...superstition than as possible entrances into deeper faith. We dwell more on the exposure of error than on the discovery of truth in spiritual things. We are more afraid of believing something which we ought not to believe than of not believing something which we ought to believe. We distrust the enthusiasm of faith. As we loose our ship from any mooring of the past, to sail into any great uncertain ocean of the future, we are more ready to listen to the malarial voices which cry to us from the shore "Begone!

Personal application to one member of the committee would lead to one statement, and the same application to another member would result in a very different statement. It was this seeming want of union in the committee itself which did much to inspire distrust among the students. The present arrangement, however, will prevent any recurrence of this trouble. On Thursdays at 12.15 the committee will meet in the office of the director of the gymnasium and will be pleased to receive any member or officer of any of the athletic associations and confer with...
