...differences of opinion. How anyone could see there a Greek Archbishop, a Buddhist from China, and a Confucian from Japan sitting side by side with Episcopal and Roman Bishops, talking with them in a friendly and sympathetic way and even expressing the same sentiment-and then quarrel about trivial sectarian difference is hard to understand. Various minor congresses of different religions and sects were held in the first part of September. A man going to these meetings heard invariably the same words of love and the same call for charity and for universal or brotherhood. On September 11 they...
...because the students are not aware of the tortures from which, in its present form, the choir saves them. Those who know of the singing in other college choirs must feel how much better the music is here than elsewhere. Indeed, so far as we are aware, no non-sectarian college in the country except Harvard has adopted the boy-choir system. It is common in England and is there carried to its greatest perfection. The present choir is the product of a slow but steady growth of more than ten years under the careful, skillful training of Mr. Locke...

Bishop Brooks' classmates propose to give at least one tenth of this fund. They begin the subscription with $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) and may be relied upon to raise or furnish the last ten thousand out of each subsequent hundred thousand until the whole...
...present year must make it of peculiar interest to us. Harvard has always stood for the most liberal views not only in education but in religion, and this fact has been so emphasized and the contrast between Harvard's liberal position and the narrow views entertained by other more sectarian universities has been so often dwelt upon that we are apt to take it for granted that any institution which stands for some particular form of religious belief is thereby handicapped in the race for true learning, and must surely be distanced by those whose position on religious questions...
