...influence exercised by its apostles, is the index of nothing less than a new theory of religion. That culture, as ordinarily used, always has this meaning, or that it does not primarily denote full intellectual development, it would be absurd to assert; but we must admit that its general tendency is to the subversion of religion, as it is now taught. For, as Principal Shairp tells us, the very life of the theory of culture is to make itself the one important thing, and therefore to degrade religion to the position of one element among many others, which serve...
...been determined, therefore, to try the experiment next year of having a course in German in which the "classic" writers and composition shall have no place, and in which the sole aim shall be to familiarize those who take it with the general style of modern German writers on history and philosophy. No single author or work will be used, but essays and lectures on historical and kindred subjects by professors at the different German universities. If they can be obtained in a cheap form, some of the following historical monographs will be read in the course. If not these...
...perhaps our condemnation was too sweeping. We had in mind at the time some glaring examples of inefficient writing and poor taste, and in fact we illustrated our remarks by references to these, so that every one might see we had special cases before us to which our general statements applied. But the Westminster Monthly, a paper far superior to many more pretentious issues from Colleges of larger size and wider fame, essays a defence. While thankful to the editors for their charity towards us, we must deprecate that spirit which leads to a seeming insinuation that the reason...
...exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made in an amateur match. On our side, Cutler's play in left field was remarkably fine; Kent, Hodges, and Annan were quick and accurate in their several positions, while the pitching of Hooper won general praise. White was so unfortunate as to receive a foul ball in the eye, in the eighth inning. His place was occupied by Perry, catcher of the Freshman Nine. This game does not give the championship to the Princetons, as they have not won two games out of three...
...general play on either side was far from brilliant, but was as good as the recent misfortunes to both Nines would warrant us in expecting. It is unfair to criticise Perry as if he were an experienced catcher, and he deserves every praise for his steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
