...held in England in 1899, when the English Universities won by five events to four. As is usually the case in contests of this kind, each side is practically sure of several events, because of the uneven development in the two countries. The Englishmen are almost certain to win the long runs, and the Americans have a like advantage in the field events. To Harvard and Yale are conceded the high and broad jumps, hurdle race and hammer throw, and to Oxford and Cambridge the half mile, mile and two mile runs. Therefore the winning of the hundred yard dash...
...permitted, there are objectionable features, since the guides apparently accost every will-appearing person who enters the Yard. It seems as if it should be possible to secure the services of one or two students, whose rooms are easily accessible, to act in the capacity of guides during certain hours of the day. A few notices, directing visitors to such students, might be posted, and thus the services of trustworthy persons as guides would be assured...
From present indications it is certain that the conference this year will be the most successful ever held. Over 600 students, representing 100 schools, colleges and universities in Canada and the East, will be present. Among the speakers already announced are Campbell Morgan of London, Dr. Maltbre D.

Moss of the World's Christian Student Federation will preside as and direct the conference augure well for the success...

The Class and University games, however, showed with a certain amount of accuracy, the strong and the weak points of this year's team. The squad of 250 men has been gradually cut down so that at present about 80 or 90 men are training daily on Soldiers Field. The following men were taken to the training table last Wednesday: Haigh, Clerk, Lightner, Rust, Manson, Willis, Converse, Hallowell, Boynton, Swan, Behr, Applegate...
Even in the very earliest years of the church, there grew up inevitably certain distinctions between its members. Some were called to the highest positions--to apostleship, to prophecy, to teaching--and to others were given the smaller offices in the organism. But all the authority which came to pertain to church officers was but the authority of missionaries and evangelists over their people, and in no sense the diocesan authority of regularly appointed bishops. Authority was given for and was conditional upon superior spirituality alone, and nowhere is there evidence of a clerical hierarchy understood as established...
