The wit did not flag, the songs were sung with spirit and received with hearty applause, and the walk from Boston, in the early morning, was made pleasant by moonlight and invigorating air. Not materially disturbed by the attentions of officious "peelers," with Auld Lang Syne and a ring in front of University, the party broke...

It requires assent to the common Evangelical doctrines for admission to regular membership, but invites all students to its meetings.
