...Copeland announced a reading from the works of Lincoln on Monday next, with the hope that next year and in future years the undergraduates would undertake fitting celebrations of the event, just as the class of '93 instituted the Memorial Day services. The hint has been acted on much more promptly than Mr. Copeland expected, and although lack of time prevents any attempt at an elaborate celebration this year, the morning service at Chapel on Saturday will, thanks to some commendable activity, be devoted to President Lincoln's memory...

...disregard of one's temporary convenience which to many students would seem little less than brutal. An ideal is such a persistently determined affair that one shrinks from encountering it. When a man knows he is honorable, why expose himself to the unpleasant suggestion that he is not? The hint that his estimate of himself has been too high is of course absurd, but it is extremely disagreeable, and no man in his senses would force himself to listen to it. It would doubtless be unbecoming in us to urge any such lack of self-consideration, but surely...
