...privilege to lead this service, till today I do so for the last time. I am glad to have the opportunity to say to the gentlemen whom I meet that I have been well aware that they are as interested in the service as I am, and to help along, as we give a torch from hand to hand, the traditions of the service to you who are to sustain it now. The government of the University has entrusted the chapel service to the religious feeling and high purpose of the undergraduates. It is in perfectly safe hands there...
...preachers to the University would impose upon him. Those who have come in contact with Dr. Hale either distantly as in chapel or more closely elsewhere will acknowledge that each minute with him has been a source of gain for them.

The story is exceptionally bright and well...
...have been asked to add a word of explanation to the paper which is sent out with this number of the CRIMSON. Some of the professors and students, in conference with Professor Peabody, have desired to establish a plan by which students who are in prosperity can help students who are in need. They have felt that many students, especially seniors, would be willing to give away some of their books, clothing, furniture, etc., instead of selling them, provided arrangements could be made by which such supplies should be carefully distributed or lent to persons who need them. In particular...
