...service was opened with the singing of the anthem "Alla Trinita." Dr. Andrew P. Peabody preached the sermon from the text found in the forty-second verse of the twenty-second chapter of Matthew: "Whose son is he?" It is often possible to learn the traits of a father from a close knowledge of the character of a son.

...that the men do not realize how much interest is taken in the tug-of-war contests at the winter meetings that in these contests class feeling finds expression as at no other time, except at the class races in May. Rope and anchor work are not hard to learn, and it only requires practice to make any ordinarily strong man serviceable on a tug-of-war team. If Ninety-two is to make any kind of a showing at the winter meeting more men must try for this team, and at once. Class feeling must be weak indeed among...
