...talk lasted for about forty-five minutes and was intensely interesting. The lecturer said that he wished me to take religion on a firm basis and not make it an emotional matter. Such religion does not last. If the grand religion of Christ is put before men in the right way it needs no argument. Men would accept it at once without urging. He wished to speak of two subjects briefly. First, the intellectual difficulty which men meet with in religion. This difficulty must be settled first. Our minds must be satisfied.

This is probably a sore disappointment to many of the sophomores, who think they have an a priori right to enjoy a little fun with the freshmen on the night of the first classmeeting. With regard to the action of the faculty, it must be said that the tendency for "rushing" such as it exists at other colleges is gaining ground here, and that there are better ways...
