...chapel was well filled at vespers yesterday afternoon. The services were conducted by Dr. F. G. Peabody, assisted by Dr. Mackenzie. Dr. Peabody spoke impressively of the life of the great man at whose funeral many had gathered a few hours before. He said that we must ask ourselves what it was that gave that life its grace and charm. It was the simplicity, the childishness, the purity of mind that marked the greatness of Asa Gray. He had kept his simplicity because he had not thought of himself, but had been filled with the sense of unattained duty...
...Monday's CRIMSON we spoke of the small attendance at the Saturday afternoon contests in the gymnasium, and remarked upon the scarcity of competitors and lack of general interest. The Yale News has been quick to see and comment upon our indifference in this direction.

He alluded to the religious lives lead by earlier members of the University, and exhorted his hearers to profit by their example. His words were earnest, and those who were present were evidently impressed with his remarks. Mr. Karl S. Hackett...
...presented to the defunct Conference Committee by one of its members is interesting throughout, but particularly in the use of one expression "effective moral opinion." There is a great deal of opinion here which has not the courage to raise its head, and so becomes ineffective. Recently Professor Adler spoke in Sander's Theatre and impressed upon his hearers the word activity. If that lesson could be taken a little more to heart there would be a great change for the better in our scholastic institutions, in our athletics, and in our morals. We think that the president brought...
