...given on the twenty-seventh of next month. As therein stated, the enterprise is the result of hearty co-operation on the part of the various class and university teams, and we feel sure that the students at large will show their appreciation of the work involved in this movement in a most substantial manner. The exhibition will give men such a chance to show visitors the real methods and results of our gymnasium work as has never previously been given. It has never fallen to the lot of an American university before to be able to exhibit...

Yet so far as accomplishing anything in this direction goes, Mr. Brooks' lectures seem to have fallen flat...
...were petitioning to have compulsory prayers abolished, the men at Yale were calling for an earlier honr for morning chapel services. This boast may seem to those, who know nothing of the matter, thoroughly justifiable; but it must seem to others, who understand the motives that prompt the movement, not so great a boast after all. The whole matter reaches a point of absurdity when it is known that the Yale sentiment was not after all as unanimous for early prayers as has been represented. We have been informed that quite as many are anxious for late as for early...
