...much can be said, religion at Harvard is neither sneered at by those who have it not, nor does it ever degenerate into cant. The question next arises, How much of this religion have we? And here, dissenting from the opinions already expressed, we venture to say that there is very little. In making such an assertion, we of course become liable to the charge of unwarrantably passing judgment upon our neighbors; but if the conversation and outward life of the average undergraduate show anything, they show a character which is not so entirely under the control of religion...

The other is a timely article on a game which in this country is gaining ground slowly, for which, however, its admirers claim much. The present position of cricket is well stated, and all who are interested will find their pleasure served and instruction gained by reading this.
