...night - when almost as large an audience as that which assembled to hear Canon Farrar, was gathered in the chapel, showed that the students were eager to receive the new plan for religious worship.

We appeal to you as men, not as students" - these words will never be forgotten by those who heard them at the time. It must be gratifying to the men who granted with doubt and fearing...

Engine No. 1 was the first to get to work, and was able to supply enough water without further assistance from the other engines. Inspired by the applause of hand-clapping...
...annual report will be often referred to. In that report, it appears that the interest in athletics is growing steadily at Harvard, and that the Harvard faculty desire to foster and encourage that department. The faculty at Cambridge can not be censured for over-zealous support of the athletic element in the colleges, and this expression of their sentiment, coming from the President, must have some influence. - Amherst...
