...December number of the New England Magazine contains an article by William Reed Bigelow on "Harvard's Better Self." It consists of a survey of the moral advantages which Harvard students enjoy and the use they make of them. The author discusses at length the worship which centers in Appleton Chapel: The morning prayers, the Sunday evening services, Vespers, the conference with the members of the Board of Preachers, etc. With the aid of quotations from articles by Professor Peabody and Rev. D. N. Beach as well as from statistics, the writer establishes the fact, well known...
...taking Rome by force and of bringing it again under papal authority. While the Italians feared little from such absurd projects still they recognized the advantages of an alliance which would at the same time free them from external and internal fears. Italy had to make sacrifices to enjoy these advantages.

His conceptions are always so excellent that one feels quite justified in taking them as standard, but if he has any fault it is that of being a trifle sentimental. The introductory adagio, as also the adagio third movement, might have seemed to some tastes a little exaggerated, but altogether...
...undertaken to deal sarcastically with our manner of living and with the financial management of the University, and has made it appear that Harvard is intolerable in the extreme. He pictures a state of affairs which would be ridiculous in any college and which is far from what we enjoy. We do not want graduates of other colleges to come to Harvard who cannot feel the spirit of the institution, and who, not taking the trouble to learn the whole truth, send home a letter of falsehoods and misrepresentations. It would be better to have no graduate department than...
