...beginning of our life. Gracious circumstances are given by God alone, but it is due to human activity and exertion that the growth of the body in material prosperity and of the soul in moral strength is made possible. Neither goodness nor wealth are of spontaneous development. With honorable success comes an honorable end. The change takes place unconsciously; we feel only the warfare; but at the end we know that God has been with us. We then realize the full meaning of the thoughts that passed through the mind of Jacob as he stood on the bank...

We hope that the precedent of last year will be followed and that an extra meeting, similar to the one under Mr. Lathrop's management, will be held. There is no doubt that such a step would be successful.

The young clergyman, lawyer, or physician often has a hard struggle to earn his daily bread but an author who is even decently equipped rarely spends the year without earning something. The profession of literature...
Although no records were broken at the recent winter games, yet they were generally considered to have been a success in every respect. The number of entries was unusually large, and the practice, which was received by the candidates for the Mott Haven team was felt to be very valuable. The plan of holding the games in the Armory will undoubtedly be followed in succeeding years, since the accommodations in the college gymnasium are totally inadequate...
