...Peabody spoke of the need today of aggressiveness in our religious life. Many men adopt a negative view of religion, avoiding evil and slipping through their daily existence in a neutral way. This is better than positive sin, no doubt, but it is a poor way of living. The need of good men in the world is greater now than ever before, and surely they ought to be found in such an institution as this where men come to develop and broaden their ideas and their field of usefulness...
...extinction of business opportunities for other people, that is not a sufficient reason for denouncing such combinations or denying their right to be. But then, again, this is not the whole of the case. That great aggregations of capital have in them elements of peril there can be no doubt. As President Hadley has said.

The Lafayette nine played better than any team which has been here this season except Brown, and the game was in doubt for five innings. The work of the nine in the field was much better than in Saturday's game, but was not so sharp as might be expected at this time of the year. The batting was not strong enough to have won against one of the big teams. The fact that seven men hit safely, however, is an encouraging feature...
