...gratifying to learn of the establishment of class prayer-meetings in the University. We understand that these meeting are not for men of any particular belief or denomination, but for all men in college which feel an interest in religion, whatever their sectarian views may be. We believe that there is a place in the University for such meetings, for although the Y. M. C. A. and St. Paul's Society are helpful to many, there are doubtless many men in college who are truly religious, and who feel the need of some religious association with their fellows...
...defeat which the Lacrosse team received from the South Boston team yesterday afternoon should be a warning against the danger of over confidence, a danger to which the lacrosse men are particular liable, owing to their long continued success.

Of late years there has been some reform in this particular, and a few of the monstrosities of the old curriculum, notably our old ancient enemy, duodecimals, have been thrown overboard. But there still remains many things, as taught in our schools, which occupy time which could better be devoted to the study of other subjects; or at least, to a greater...
...writer seems utterly unable to perceive what is not put directly before his eyes. That a general can contain a particular truth does not seem to have yet entered his head. "Abstinence in the economic sense is never thought of by Christ." And why? "Because it is plain that self sacrifice was considered admirable only in relation to a particular ideal, viz.: "Love of God and one's neighbor." Is then economic abstinence contrary to the love of your neighbor? Does the love of your neighbor preclude the love of yourself? If so, for what have Butler and Hartley...
