...attitude towards Northfield, you would permit me to say a word concerning it. As a student I thought of Northfield as an ultra-pious place, which promoted an abnormally emotional and provincial religious life. I exaggerated the conservatism of its theology and minimized the sincerity and wholesomeness of its spirit. After graduating I declined to go to Northfield as a speaker until last year, when I went with some misgivings and reluctance. But I then discovered that my impressions of the conference had little foundation in fact. I found a joyous, delightfully vigorous and magnetic atmosphere. The men from...
...remaining dinner is yet to be seen. The invitations were sent out over two weeks ago and to date but four tickets have been sold. Such a showing is disgraceful. These dinners are the chief entertainments given by the Sophomore class. Members of the class should realize that class spirit, if it means anything, calls for some slight effort on the part of the class. The Sophomores failed to attend the first dinner as they should; the least they can do is to back up their officers and show true class spirit by a large and enthusiastic attendance on April...

The desire to find out the secrets of nature impels men to trudge over Arctic and Antarctic ice-fields with the satisfaction of all bodily requirements reduced to a minimum and burdened with a load of scientific instruments. Other...
Stronger than all--perhaps because including all--is the true and honest wholesomeness of the play. A keen judge has called Heywood an Elizabethan ancestor of Col. Newcome; and the spirit of the courteous and well-bred qualities is strong and full in "The Fair Maid of the West." The play is thus genuinely a revival, for it is given practically intact. So invigorating is the courageous, open-air climate that even the most arrant coward is shamed out of his cowardice into as energetic courage; the returning Captain Goodlack, who is much tempted to gainful villany, is too conscious...
