...Prof. Francis G. Peabody yesterday afternoon before a large congregation, composed mostly of Cambridge people. It was a thoughtful, eloquent address, commanding the closest attention and interest of the hearers. Dr. Peabody chose for his text a part of the fourth chapter of St. Matthew's gospel, the subject being "The Temptation of Christ." He traced the similarity between the temptations of Christ as He was entering on His ministry and those of a young man just beginning his active life work.

...found that some instructor had put all the texts on the reserved list. It seems to me only fair that, where several copies of a work are in the Library, one at least should be kept in circulation. Instructors are too apt to reserve indiscriminately everything bearing on their subject, and thus to prevent readers who do not happen to take their courses from getting as much benefit from the Library as they have a right to expect. Cannot this be remedied...
