Last evening, within five minutes, Sever 11 was lighted, the doors were opened, and the seats were filled! Grand as the sight of such rapid movements of an audience might be, we find it hard to understand why those who are managing the lectures care to sacrifice the comfort of the audiences and the value of the lectures to a selfish desire to see a solid column of humanity crowd itself in a room not at all capable of receiving it. Sever 11, with the poor lights, limited space, and hard seats, is no place for such lectures as Judge...

...made the boast that, while Harvard men were petitioning to have compulsory prayers abolished, the men at Yale were calling for an earlier honr for morning chapel services. This boast may seem to those, who know nothing of the matter, thoroughly justifiable; but it must seem to others, who understand the motives that prompt the movement, not so great a boast after all. The whole matter reaches a point of absurdity when it is known that the Yale sentiment was not after all as unanimous for early prayers as has been represented. We have been informed that quite as many...
