...institution like Harvard, with its traditions and its long line of well-known graduates, are apt to forget that work just as noble, if not so prominent, is being done by smaller institutions which deal with humbler classes of people. Lectures on subjects like this tend to broaden views and stimulate kindly feelings and no man who takes a liberal view of education can afford to miss them. We bespeak for Mr. Turner a cordial reception from the students and a kindly interest in the subject which he will present...
...Bolles has just issued his annual circular to seniors and graduate students, asking them to state what work they have done in college, and what business they expect to enter after leaving college.

Knowledge is of practically no use till it is imparted and college societies fail in so far as they...
...took as his text, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." He pictured an avalanche sweeping down a mountain side. Any one standing at the base of the mountain could see the destruction and yet beyond it the clear, blue sky. Such a view of life is afforded by the Bible. The book is not wholly pessimistic, for it sees the blue sky beyond. It is not wholly optimistic for it also sees the desolation. It is a book of progress and hope. It says the world is not what it ought...
