...From a pretty careful examination of this volume we are inclined to think it one of the best brief accounts of our constitutional system that have been published.

Public sentiment both in England and America has declared against it. It is unlawful, unwise and unjust...
...couple of Princeton students have been canvassing the colleges of this country for names of students willing to become foreign missionaries. They have heard from ninety-two institutions, and in these 1,525 students have signified a willingness to go abroad as missionaries. Upward of 300 of the number are women.
