...displayed the utmost udeness not only to Prince Wolkonsky, but to the rest of the audience, by leaving the theatre with more or less disturbance while the lecture was in progress. Unfortunately there were many members of the University who in this way also showed their inability to understand the first principles of gentlemanly behavior. Of course those who made themselves noticeable last evening probably did not realize that they were giving a pitiable confession of ignorance, in so far as they could not appreciate Prince Wolkonsky's charmingly poetic talk upon Russian literature...

It would be manifestly unfair to race crews, drawn in such a different way that it would give one college almost three times as many men to draw from as the other...
...prayer be honest, it must include submission of our will to God's. When, after every prayer, we can sincerely say, "Thy will be done," and model our lives accordingly, then, no matter what our misfortunes and our desires, we can understand the true peace. Let no day pass without supplication, and every day will be blessed with peace...
