This does not mean the increase of churches alone, for a man may have in him the spirit of Christ without being able to repeat a creed.

There is no form of vice which is not by them well represented; till the term politician has come to mean rogue, and this because the politician...
...rule, the time to give to athletics which the captaincy of a team demands. Even if they had time it is much better that the captains of the teams should come from the college, for the college is the real centre of the athletic activity. We look upon this decision of the committee with regard to undergraduate captains, as another step along the line of that sensible legislation in athletic affairs which Harvard has done so much to forward in recent years. The gratitude of the University is due to the committee for the wisdom and justice which...
