...shows conclusively that not only are collegians as religious as their fathers, but that the number of church members in the different colleges has largely increased during the past century. In 1795, Yale had but four or five students who were church members; today, nearly one-half hold such membership. In 1813, only two or three men at Princeton belonged to any church, while at present, one-half of them are church members. Again, of the 352 men at Amherst, 147 belong to some church, while nearly the same proportion at Williams are church members. The Globe, in an editorial...

...Exeter. The incentive given to both schools to put forth every effort in order to win the annual game, and thus be one of the contestants in the final struggle for the cup, will be great. The Boston schools will also have much to gain from a membership in the association. It is probable that either Exeter or Andover will generally be the winner of the cup, but that result is by no means certain, and the Boston schools will have the advantage of being able to choose the best men from several nines. At present the plan...
