There will be meetings in the Globe Theatre on five successive Sunday nights, beginning. The preachers to the University will speak; all else,- the music, the arrangements for time and place, the gathering of the audience-is in the hands of students. The aim is to reach the great class whom ordinary religious methods do not reach, not the slums alone, but such people as crowd the streets Sunday evenings. To appeal to no higher motive, this is one way, not perfect or complete, but certainly not visionary, of grappling with those tendencies in city life, which are a growing...
...youth, in the fresh air, under the clear sky of heaven; animated by loyal purpose, and sparing no passing pang for the furtherance of a desired object-there is nothing in the whole range of manly training which can equal it, the ends it accomplishes or the methods of reaching them.

We would urge all the men that have any talents in that direction to try for an editorship; men from '90 and '91 are especially needed...
...English. Now, a regulation has appeared which refuses admittance to English 12, one of the most practical and useful courses in the English department, to any man who shall have fallen below a certain grade in English B; a grade which many a conscientious student may fail to reach by need of that very training which is thus forbidden him. The only reason given is the crowding of the course. If any must be deprived of the advantages it would seem to be more just to deprive those who need the advantages least...
