...number. Its aim is to stimulate men to become more than mere plodders or idlers along the intellectual highway; to show the vast superiority of those students who. putting aside the petty spirit which drives men to work for marks or examinations alone, adopt instead an ultimate idea of true and broad culture. An abuse too prevalent at Harvard-the nursing system of private tutors-is treated with the open and unqualified contempt it deserves. If the Monthly continues thus ably to discuss matters of great importance for the welfare of the University, it will be certain to obtain...
...Theodore Roosevelt contributes an article on "The Immigration Problem." While the article contains little that is new on the subject and is not noteworthy for the force of its suggestions, it is animated by a spirit sooner or later to be adopted by all true Americans. The almost universally accepted modifications of the doctrine of the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" are fully upheld in the assertion that our country is not to be thought of as merely an asylum for the pporessed.

On the part of a number of long suffering students I beg leave to add my plea to the one already made...
...lives. We are too apt to look at events which have spiritual significance for us only in the light of historical fates. The resurrection means to many of us merely that Christ arose as victor over death, and that we who are his followers will arise likewise; but the true meaning for us should be as Paul said it was-an actual experience of our present life. God is ever with us, and we should feel his presence and live our life for and in Him alone...
