...forth the true aims of the school. It is, he said, in the spirit of progress and belief that we cannot afford to be behind other nations in improving our methods and enlarging and elevating our instruction. The Archaeological Institute has founded this school at Athens. We Americans need such a school even more than any other nation, for Germany, France and England are all within a few days' journey of Greece, and within the compass of a month's vacation. He considers that the one great need of the school is a permanent resident director at Athens, and that...
...bane which will soon threaten--a chapel service with the temperature somewhere near zero. The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained.

For such men the Society of Christian Brethren was founded, and to such...
...desire to call especial attention to the notice of the president of the boat club printed in another column, the subject of which is the approaching complimentary dinner to the university crew. There ought to be no need of urging the students to be present on this occasion and thus show their appreciation of the crew's splendid work last year. But the dinner last fall was such a fiasco and the recent meeting was so poorly attended that it shows the need of an earnest appeal to prevent the coming dinner from being a failure...
