What has become of the movement which Mr. Brooks' lectures on Socialism were to have started. Mr. Brooks ended, it will be remembered by urging Harvard students to take some such interest in the labor question as is taken by university men in England and Germany. That the present is as opportune a time as any for stimulating such an interest, can be seen by any one who has read the daily papers for the past week. Yet so far as accomplishing anything in this direction goes, Mr. Brooks' lectures seem to have fallen flat...
...economic aspects of events. The labor in this way would be greatly divided. Each instructor would lecture once a week, with the privilege of omitting a lecture should there not be sufficient material for a fruitful discussion. Instructors in other departments of the college, whenever anything of especial interest happened in the branch in which they taught, might take an hour to explain the discovery or invention, whatever it might be.

...college will welcome the course of lectures announced in the last University Calendar. It is hard to conceive of subjects that would appeal to the interest of college men more than the professions, law, ministry, medicine, journalism, teaching.

A fruitful source of irreligion is mutual denunciation among sects. Nobody knows how to teach morality effectively without religion...
...summon the students to their respective rooms and had just given it a few taps, suddenly the unusually clear and musical tones of the bell became harsh and discordant. On examination it was found that the bell was cracked completely through from top to bottom. The accident possesses some interest by reason of the fact that the bell surpasses in antiquity even the oldest of St. Michael's bells. Its beautiful tones are familiar to Charleston's oldest scholars, and almost from time immemorial they have carried confusion to the hearts of dilatory students...
