...Percy Browne, of St. James Church, Roxbury, addressed the meeting in a few earnest words of exhortation for the purification of our souls. He showed the necessity of cultivating restraint against the many temptations which are attendant upon a college life; at the same time urging us to live an active life, not to wait for some better opportunity to do good, but to adjust ourselves to the environments in which God has placed us.

The trip of the Glee Club will do much to bind those graduates, who live too far away to be present at any of our athletic contests, still closer to their alma mater. The reunion of Harvard men, old and young, is always pleasant, and the Harvard clubs of the cities in which concerts are to be given have done all in their power...
