GENTLEMEN,-While deprecating a continuance of the articles on Harvard's religion, which have recently appeared in our College papers, I beg leave to offer a short criticism on the last article of that character contained in the Magenta. Its weak points are many, and they would at once be revealed by a careful analysis both of its course of thought and of its general style. While purporting to be a defence of Harvard students, it is manifestly a protest against certain religious opinions, and a slur cast, in one case upon the expressions, in the other upon the doctrinal...

...swift pitching which the Harvards have faced all the spring seemed to have somewhat incapacitated them for hitting Thompson's deceptive slows; and their batting was not nearly as good as it has been in some of the recent games. Hooper and Estabrooks each made a pretty hit. Eustis brought in three men by a hard hit to centre-field which went through the fielder's hands, making a very welcome addition to the score, as he followed them directly on a passed ball by Madigan. Our Nine fielded very well, notwithstanding the slippery ball. Hodges and Kent played without...

...intellectual tumult and revolution. The Christian world, like a man just awakening to the knowledge of his own faculties, has begun to question the truth of what it has been taught to accept as dogma. On the one hand, science, made confident by its recent achievements, assails the very foundations of the Christian religion, rejecting with scorn testimony and proof which require standards of judgment other than those of the exact sciences; while, on the other, literature, or rather the champion of the "literary theory of culture," refuses to accept a religion which cannot be justified...

...Record is unusually interesting to us this week, expressing as it does the feeling at Yale in relation to the recent base-ball contest. We cannot help inferring that so great was the confidence in Nevins's pitching, that certain members of the Yale Nine became careless about practising. If this was so, the poor playing of the Nine is readily accounted for. The whole tone of the Record's remarks is highly complimentary and gratifying to Harvard...

...Harvard we hardly know which would be the most dangerous, - the tendency towards rationalistic ideas, so much feared by the gentleman to whom we have referred; or the absolute certainty of an endeavor to bring forward the heretical doctrine of transubstantiation, which is known to be believed by a recent candidate for the bishopric, whose influence the same gentleman thought to be so very necessary for the infidel students at Harvard! The ingenuity of special pleading in defence of "wide and generous views" loses vitality when the speaker is felt to be narrow-minded, and is suspected of seeking...
