...Studd, who is to speak in Appleton Chapel tomorrow evening, we would say that we believe that what he will have to present will be exceedingly interesting to college men, and at least will command their hearty respect. Mr. Studd has visited Yale and Cornell and other colleges, and the papers from those colleges speak even enthusiastically of him. He is an Englishman, and was educated at Eton and Cambridge (class of '83), so that his sympathies with college students are naturally very strong. As captain of the Cambridge University Cricket Eleven, he won great distinction in athletics. "A typical...
...offenders be dealt with by a jury of undergraduates. It seems to me he does not go deep enough. If public opinion were not torpid on the subject, most of the cheating would stop at once; - few men would be willing to face the sure contempt of their friends even for forty per cent. A remark I heard lately, made by an upperclassman, is rather a striking illustration of how a good part of the college world looks at these things.

...pretend to any degree of sober thought. The lecture which was given last year under the auspices of the Philosophical Club, proved this most conclusively by the intense interest which it aroused in the subject discussed. A lecture on the present state of Harvard undergraduate thought, for example, even if not feasible, would, to say the least, excite interest. But there are so many subjects in philosophy which at present involve discussion, that the range of possible and interesting discourses is almost unlimited. We are aware that mention has already been made of this matter, but we are sorry...
...genius, not with the poetic art. The genius needs the art for its perfection, and the art needs experience, if it is to aid the genius at all successfully. Moreover, the matter of genius aside, as long as poems by young writers are readable, and, as they often are even very creditable, such poems are worth writing and publishing. We believe that to-day the poems in college papere are among the most attractive features, and do not expect than any but such severe critics as Mr Howells can wish the young writers checked in their writing...
