...people who are "comfortable" morally, because they have established a new public school, when they ought to be uncomfortable; and he tries to make them uncomfortable by his writings. He is really one of the most serious of men; but he uses his great power of sarcasm to bring home the meaning of what he writes, and every word he writes is not intended to be taken seriously. "The Quintessence of Ibsenism" must not be taken too literally, what he points out in it is that duty is not only the greatest, but also, the meanest bond in the world...
...undoubtedly of great value to the participant, but it is not interesting to the average man. It is too technical, and redundant. The proposed contest will be considerably shorter, more varied, and more comprehensible. The emphasis on the literary quality, the power to please and persuade an audience, should bring out that phase in which our debating is weakest.

Since that discussion, however, a new organization has come into existence, the Student Council, and it seems proper to open the discussion again, this time with more hope of a speedy solution of the question...
...first of the University teas for the year will be held this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock in the Parlor of Phillips Brooks House. The object of the teas is to provide an opportunity for students to meet one another informally, and to bring them into closer relations with the officers of the University and their families, particularly with those professors whom they do not meet in the classroom. As in former years, the management of the teas is in the hands of a permanent executive committee made up of certain members of the Faculty and their wives...
