...that things often occur Wednesday that prevent those who wish, from going on the runs; these interruptions are of course only occasional. there are, however, many fellows who have recitations on Wednesday and are thus prevented from enjoying the runs coming on that day. Some complaint has been heard on this account and it is to be hoped the management can so arrange the runs that all can ejoy them...
...University give four Sunday evenings to this service, as was the case last year, but there are also great pains taken to make the college pulpit what Dr. Brooks is reported to have said it should be-"the great preacher's place of this country." We have already heard Professor Drummond, of Glasgow, and Professor Murray, the preacher to Princeton College. Next Sunday, Rev. T. C. Williams, the successor of Rev.

Here and there a professorship is fairly well endowed...
...they are freshmen. This matter ought to be looked in the face squarely. It is not alone in the celebration of "Bloody Monday" that an undesirable spirit is shown, in other ways and at other times the same spirit presents itself. There are few Harvard men who have not heard fathers complain that the social system in Cambridge was so rotten that they would never send another son here. After making allowance for exaggeration, there is still much which should make those who are aiding in the perpetuation of "a rotten social system" pause a moment to consider whether they...
