...Percy Browne, of St. James Church, Roxbury, addressed the meeting in a few earnest words of exhortation for the purification of our souls.

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.
