Beginning with this evening there will be only five more college conferences in the regular series for the rest of the year. These last five, moreover, seem to be of especial interest. Tonight Professor Goodwin, in having for his subject "Paul at Athens," will bring the thought of Greece into touch with the Christian gospel. Professor Palmer will apply the habit of philosophy to interpret the parables, and Professor Wright the instinct of the philologist to the speeches of Paul. It is difficult to see how our instructors could better accomplish true University work than by such means as these...
...recent investigation at the boat house reveals the fact that the appliances for life saving there are totally inadequate, At present they seem to consist principally of one very cranky skiff. While, in the past few years, there has been no serious accident at the boat house, the possibility of such an accident is always present. The sad occurence of last week, though it did not take place near the boat house, showed how liable we are to accidents on the river. We hope that this word to the university boat club will be enough. Their attention has probably...

The rules for this year, which we publish elsewhere, seem clear enough; and we hope that the class captains will get a thorough understanding of them. A strict following of the rules will go far towards making the whole series successful...
...affairs of the Foxcroft Club at present seem to be most flourishing. In the early part of the year considerable dissatisfaction was expressed, and the wisdom of the management's administration was questioned.

Since they have had affairs in charge, the club has made another distinct advance in prosperity. Since the first of January, the price of board has twice been lowered. Moreover, during this time, the membership has increased ten per cent...
...would seem, on first thought, that such a decided falling off in interest would surely counteract our success in track and field athletics. The facts, however, do not warrant such an assumption. Never has our success been greater than in the past year or two, and our prospects for the future seem equally bright. The natural suggestion, then, might be that the cause which has killed the interest in our meetings has also kept up the general success in the athletics. It seems to us that, as a matter of fact, such is the case; and that this cause...
