Speaking of the German periodicals, Professor Paszkowski said that they assume somewhat the same place as did the "Spectator" and that they play an important part in the educational advantages of Germany. The "International Monthly" in particular has done a great deal toward connecting the advances of knowledge in Germany and America to one another and has been an important factor in bringing together, in exchange professorships and otherwise, Harvard and the German universities. The fault of all German journalism seems to be a lack of aggressiveness, but this is not a fatal fault...
...special service in Appleton Chapel on Good Friday, which this year falls on April 5. In connection with this service the Board of Preachers, with the consent of President Lowell and at the request of students, has arranged to celebrate the Communion.

With the current number of the Advocate as a text the reviewer ventures to give some advice on a condition hitherto passed...
...music is of the Viennese type, with which we are now somewhat over-familiar, although some of the songs have a degree of piquancy that is really refreshing. Of course there was a waltz about "roses", and as the people left the theatre whistling it, they appeared to have spent a pleasant evening...
