...presentation of the monument on behalf of a parishioner was made by Mr. H. H. Edes, in a few well chosen words. He said that two pleasant duties devolved upon him - first, the cordial welcoming of every person in the great congregation, assembled to do honor to the memory of so good and great a man; and, secondly, the presentation of so appropriate a tribute of the love and esteem in which Dr. Walker was held by one of his parishioners, who considered him the nearest to perfection of any man she ever...
...same result - the encouragement of specialties. According to these regulations, a man may anticipate his freshman required work and pursue one subject throughout his college course. The offer of "honors" to special students is also a new feature in the same general line as those just mentioned.

...person who carefully compares the statements of the two papers, it will be very plain that the Crimson draws a little on its imagination in speaking for the Advocate. There is nothing in the Advocate editorial referred to which warrants the Crimson in making its statement, and the Advocate in a late number denies it. The Advocate's position is easily tenable. But there is no doubt that the Crimson's indignation runs away with its discretion. The position it takes is not at all defensible. It is ridiculous to say that a paper is "in no wise responsible...
