...seems that this spirit of toleration will shortly receive a trial. An article in the current "Illustrated" contains the information that the Reverend William Sunday is scheduled to visit here next year. It seems almost certain that he will not find existing conditions entirely to his taste, nor from past experience does it seem probable that he will be at all backward in saying as much. Mr. Sunday should be given a fair hearing; he may have many valuable suggestions. His recent visit to Princeton was distinctly a success. He deserves, at least, unprejudiced consideration, whether or not his ideas...
Lest these facts be not appreciated by the Freshmen who have shown such a pathetic lack of spirit and energy, let me remind them that Freshman numerals are not a necessary adjunct to a University crew man. Several Instances can be given of men who have made an "H" in rowing who were not taken to New London at all in their Freshman year...
...letter which Professor Taussig sent to Vossische Zeitung in answer to Professor Eduard Meyer's letter entitled "The Spirit of Harvard," which is printed in the last issue of the Alumni Bulletin probably expresses the conviction of all Harvard men that "the bonds of intellectual co-operation between nations will not prove to have been severed when this tragic struggle comes to an end."

The scene in which Andromache played with spirit and sweetness by Miss Edith Wynne Matthison, parts from her little son Astyonax, is a dramatic episode of great power. Miss McCarthy as Hecuba is a stately queen and Chrystal Herne and Gladys Hanson are excellent in the roles of Cassandra and Helen of Troy. Mr. Barker has done much...
There is, however, no defense for the man who is a pass man by choice,--the man who chooses courses because they are reputed to be easy. It is intellectual curiosity, a conscientious striving to know, which distinguishes the man of culture from the complacent philistine. This spirit, combined with four years of effort,--not necessarily of the "grind" variety,--will make a man educated to the extent at least of not bringing shame upon the university whose degree he holds...
