Princeton defeated Harvard on Saturday in the first game of the series between the two colleges. In spite of the one-sided score the game was hotly contested throughout, and the excitement lasted until the end. Harvard put up a much better game than had been expected, fielding well and making only one hit less than Princeton. None of their four errors were inexcusable and they had little effect upon the result of the game. Where the team was weak was in their inability to bunch their hits when they would have counted for runs. It was here that Princeton...

...religion is largely personal and depends not on institutions like the church, or on the Bible, but on Christ as He is there described. At the same time even today in spite of His revelation to the world, He is the mystery of our religion. Although in the present age we are inclined to look as much as possible to exact science, we are forced to admit that we can not understand the world or even our own lives. In the same way much of religion is a mystery, and this indeed gives it much of its strength. Upon...
