...great complaint at present in this matter is one resulting from sectarian feelings. Catholics, or Jews are afraid to send their children to school where protestant religious forms are observed, and vice versa. The plan of having separate religious exercises for the different factions in the schools does not commend itself to us; for it would not only cause much more trouble and probably increased expense, but would also strengthen quite unnecessarily the feelings of disagreement among the parents of the pupils and their teachers. And so unless a single service can be held in which all can have confidence...
...religious decadence" at Harvard, as pictured in a prominent New York paper, is surely of the "hundred fold." We fully appreciate the shock which the writer's devout spirit has experienced at our "gross misrepresentation" of the article in question. It has never been the custom for a non-sectarian college newspaper man to read between the lines even in "his excitement."

Any Harvard student who is willing to subscribe to a declaration that his college is a hot-bed of incipient nihilism, scepticism...

The college now leaves the students so largely to themselves in religious matters that there is special need and reason for organization among the students. We therefore urge all who are interested to join one or both of these societies. Notices will soon appear in our columns as to when and where students can join the societies...
...presented below: Mr. Walker thought higher education should be provided for otherwise than by annual charge upon the tax-payers. One reason was that such education was too essential to the community to remain a subject for legislative vagaries; another was that it should be religious, not to say sectarian; a third reason was the inevitable increase of a citizen's burdens as a bachelor for the luxury of a college education of the children of his wealthy neighbor. One of the motives that had led the people to establish schools for higher education is the conviction that...
