...Bible; although they cling to total immersion in baptism, yet they make it no test of fellowship. The first syllable of Christian as applied to their denomination is usually pronounced as in Christ, probably incorrectly, but this serves at least to mark a distinction in meaning. The word is not defined in its narrow sense by Webster. Ignorance of these facts is very pardonable, but a critic, who confessed to no clear understanding of the use of the word, should have avoided making a point based on such ignorance...

A careful statement of the financial condition of the boat-club will be found in the article called "Graduates and Boating," and it is as well that a word should be said to undergraduates on the subject while the graduates are being called upon. Among the other affairs of our University in a grievous state, may be reckoned a certain laxity about money-matters. The man who subscribes five dollars to help the crew, the nine, or what...
