...freshman class, and a communication on the mutilation of library books, both of which are well worth reading, The former deserves the attention and reflection not only of those to whom it is addressed, but of every other man in college, treating as it does of a matter of vital importance in college life. Such matters are not generally discussed in the college press but a little plain, sober talk like this, by a man evidently in earnest, and professedly experienced, is quite timely and appropriate...
...meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last evening on the summer school for Bible Study at Northfield. The Association desires to send a large Harvard delegation to Northfield this summer, and invited Mr. Sanders to talk to the members in order to arouse a greater interest in the matter.

Harvard will be undoubtedly justified in insisting on the acceptance of May 22, or any other date she may wish if Yale holds to June 1 as her choice...
...with other institutions, is worthy of great praise. Their report shows an opinion of higher moral tone, of greater earnestness for work, of superior advantages for this work at Harvard, than is possessed by any college or university in the country. They tell what those who have investigated the matter know to be true without the shadow of doubt, but the more we can emphaslze these facts and present Harvard in her true light, the better, and surely this report speaks with strong emphasis...
