...plea for the maintainance of Bloody Monday Night as a college custom is hardly so successful as the preceding editorials. The half way defence of "punches" is out of place in the editorial columns of the Advocate. That the rushes do no harm, indeed that they are rather good fun, is admitted but it is not probable that even this part of Bloody Monday Night will long exist in a place where all the tendencies of thought and action are as maturing as they are here at Harvard. It is rather a difficult matter to incite much class enthusiasm among...

The service closed with the benediction pronounced...

They have hitherto been unused to perfect freedom, and religion has doubtless been more of an obligation than a privilege. They hear the Chapel bell with a consciousness that it rather invites than summons them, and for a moment they hesitate in the exercise of their duty. They forget, perhaps, that the obligation to attend religious service is now even stronger than before, that what once seemed a matter of routine is now a matter of conscience. But this must...
