...Peabody in his remarks at prayers Saturday morning took occasion to say that the preachers to the University feel more than ever encouraged in their work this year, because it seems to them that there has been a distinct increase in the interest of the students in the religious services of the college. There was certainly a noticeable increase in the number of men present at prayers last week and few services have been held in Appleton Chapel more impressive and earnest than the opening Sunday services a week ago.

We have room on our editorial board for two editors from the junior class, three from the sophomore and one from the freshman, and we advise and urge all who think they...
...good-bye, gentlemen. I have spoken perhaps too long. It is enough to say that, in the advance of men's confidence in men and in young men, you have been entrusted with the religious service which shows that this is a Christian college. Do not go back on those who give to you this trust, but show them that it is safe in your hands...
