...Gordon conducted Vespers in Appleton Chapel yesterday afternoon. He spoke of the Messiahanic hope; that we should not be disappointed if the future turns out different from what we expect. The choir sang the following selections very acceptably: "Song of Judgment," Mendelssohn; "I will Lay me Down in Peace," Niles; "O thou that Weepest," Stainer. Mr. Geo. J. Parker, of Boston, was the soloist...
...Speaking of the condition of things in November Mr. Hodge says that Harvard football is characteristic of the Harvard spirit of indifference. Yale is always conservative. The extremis individualism of the college spirit at Princeton, is the most salient point of her eleven's play.

The article is accompanied by a photograph of the Princeton eleven...

The choir sang Gilbert's "A wake thou that sleepest," Selby's "I will magnify thee," and "As now the sun's declining rays," by Barnby. The service closed with the 253rd hymn...
...graduate contribution by Mr. Edward Fuller discusses the proposed shortening of the term. The author opposes it because he fears that it will lower the Harvard standard; and because he thinks that professional men can well afford to spend their additional year in maturing their judgment. "His reason is sentimental-even illogical" in places. and he hardly makes as strong a case as might be expected. He returns at the end to "sentiment considerations to find the strongest ground of opposition to the proposed change;" for" it is primarily and essentially a concession to the vulgarizing spirit...
