...rendered with exquisite taste, was an inspiring addition to the dignity of the service. The members of the University may almost regard the institution of Vesper Services as an answer to their demand, for in the discussion of Harvard's religious system before the recent changes it was often urged that an afternoon service would be more valuable and would be better attended than the usual morning service of prayer. At all events Vesper services are now to be held every Thursday afternoon. Although it would seem unnecessary to remind undergraduates of their responsibility under our present enlightened system...

We have often dwelt upon the insufficiency of our Scientific School as an institution, but not upon its accommodations. It seems, however, that the matter has been grasped from the latter standpoint, and that with a new building a reaction for the better upon the Scientific School itself is expected. The philosophy is good; for noblesse oblige. We must therefore take an interest in this new enterprise, and trust that a beneficent alumni, stimulated...
