...Professor George Harris, of Andover, conducted the service in Appleton chapel last evening. He chose as the text of his sermon John vs 17; "But Jesus answered them, My Father worked even until now, and I work." In these words Jesus justified himself for healing the lame man on the Sabbath. He had a flash of insight into the purpose of God, and understood that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. But His words have a larger significance than this. They show how deeply conscious Jesus was of God's working everywhere in the world...
...work are great. The captain can have only a limited acquaintance in his class, and must trust to the men to respond to his calls printed in the CRIMSON. But many good men hesitate about offering themselves; some, through modesty, others through indifference; I have heard men say even in November "they thought the crew had been chosen;" some have an idea that assessments are levied on the candidates to pay expenses. Will you tell these men that it will cost them nothing but an hour's labor each day; that in order to find out who are the best...
...suggestion made by Mr. Winslow at the dinner the other evening deserves, it seems to us, more than a passing notice. For two years and over we have been casting about for an explanation of Harvard's athletic decadence, and theory after theory has been advanced and exploded. Have we not, however, a means of solution, or at least an aid, among us? The day surely has passed when students adjudge the members of their faculty capable only of gaining and imparting knowledge.

Lessing was perhaps the greatest critic that ever lived. His superiority was demonstrated in his judgment of Shakespeare, whom he understood far better than his English contemporary, Johnson. His literary reviews were fearless, and even his personal friends were not spared. He freed the German drama from its slavery to the French school, and showed how the French drama failed to conform not only to the German character, but to the fundamental principles of art. In the Laocoon he drew the distinction between painting and poetry, and made evident the great harm that had been done by the confusion...
...occupy almost the entire space of the magazine, and leave room for only a communication and a poem, besides the editorial department and The Month. It may well be doubted whether the editors are justified imdevoting so many pages to a work not original nor written by an undergraduate, even though it is of so great intrinsic merit as Mr. Carpenter's translation. This article is a great honor to its contributor and to Harvard, but it should not have been allowed to occupy so great a portion of the Monthly's limited space...
