...attendance of students at the Sunday evening services in Appleton Chapel has of late shown a marked increase. This greater attendance is doubtless largely due to the fact that prominent preachers have occupied the pulpit. Such men as Canon Farrar, Phillips Brooks, Minot J. Savage and others, who have recently preached in Appleton, cannot fail to draw large audiences. Moreover, by their power and earnestness they never fail to interest and influence. We cannot but be glad that the college is so fortunate in getting able men to occupy the chapel pulpit, and we believe that in this...
...short informal address, tinctured by none of that formalism and stiffness which the uninformed are liable to attribute to greatness, but marked by that geniality and whole heartedness which is so distinctively an English characteristic. Canon Farrar, Matthew Arnold, and Lord Coleridge, all have spoken from the college pulpit, and each has charmed with his own individuality yet through each address ran a strong exhortation, an appeal fervent and ringing for higher aims and loftier aspirations and the pursuance of that ambition which is the foundation, the fundamental principal of all success, the ambition of unselfish striving after and working...

It supposes that Thiers is the best administrator, because Thiers writes the best history. Now the writers on the other side of the water may determine this as they choose. We should...
...elective system at Harvard has its latest development in the determination of students of the medical school to have lectures on homeopathy, in the face of the refusal of the faculty to permit such heresay to be preached from any pulpit under their control. This is an extension of the system which was perhaps unlooked for by the college authorities; but it is logical, and, what it more to the point, the boys are set upon having it.-Record...
...compulsory system upon the students, we have one suggestion to make to the visitors. We have noticed in the strangers who have recently been present at Chapel, that they occupied themselves solely in following the service. They joined in the psalm, listened throughout to the reading from the pulpit, and added their own vocal contribution to the singing of the hymn. Now, if these gentlemen were the visiting overseers, they evidently did not attain the object of their visit, for they were too much taken up with their own devotion to notice how many others were in an equally religious...
