...last number of the New York Churchman appeared an article on "The Harvard Experiment," as the writer conscientiously calls it, by Prof. Peck of Columbia College. We trust that a paper of such standing as the Churchman does not sanction the contents of this article. We are surprised that a man of the position that Mr. Peck occupies, should be willing to expose his narrow-mindedness. It would be useless for us to point out the false views taken by Mr. Peck, for we should be forced to quote nearly every sentence of the article. We fail...
...Association should delay the runs until after the fall meeting. It is certain that if the series is begun at once, an additional interest will be lent to the meeting, as no doubt many men will be induced to enter who would not care to do so later.

The former system of credits was notoriously unfair, for who, if he be a man of insight, will undertake...
...morrow evening the first college service of the year will be held in Appleton Chapel under the auspices of Prof. Peabody and his five colleagues. We trust that on this occasion the gentlemen who are to conduct the religious services of the colleges throughout the coming year may be encouraged and supported by the presence of a large number of students. The success of the new regime is wholly dependent upon the support given it by the students at whose desire it has been instituted; and unless they show a warm interest in the efforts of the religious directors...
