...regular meetings of the S. Paul's Society have been changed to Wednesday evenings, instead of Monday, as heretofore. Every alternate week a shortened form of service is to be held, followed by a free discussion on religious subjects of interest. It may not be generally known that the Society is open to all Episcopalians in any department of the University, who may wish to join. All students are invited to attend the services.

Because, instead of taking place on Holmes Field, where I could easily go without any trouble or loss of time, the games are played in Boston, and at the extreme end of Boston. I suppose that there is some good reason for this, but it seems very strange that, when the College has provided us with a convenient and good...
