...should not have gone at this length into this matter except for the fact that it is the utterance of a man of President Eliot's reputation, culture, and experience and before persons who are, most of them, perhaps destined to come into contact, as missionaries, with the much wronged Asiaties. If the Christian missionary activity requires things as these to kindle their well-nigh expiring zeal for their cause, it is safe to predict that a terrible disillusion is soon at hand for them...
...Fogg Museum. The portrait was at Llanshaw Court, in Gloucester-shire, for more than three centuries. It bears a close resemblance to the only known authentic portrait of Chaucer, the miniature in Occleve's "De regimine principum," written in 1411-12, and also to a later full-length portrait in another British Museum manuscript.

The Hasty Pudding Club has withdrawn entirely, but a performance of the Delta Upsilon and Pi Eta plays will be given at the expense of the Union for the benefit of its members only. Through the courtesy of the Pi Eta Society the Union night of that show will be in the Pi Eta house, on Tuesday...
...University hockey team held practice in the Arena yesterday afternoon, preliminary to the second Yale game which will be played at New Haven tomorrow. The length of the rink was shortened by boards in order to accustom the players to the small ice area on which the game will be played. After drilling the forwards in passing, the first team lined up against the substitutes and defeated them, 3 to 2, in a fast and stubborn scrimmage of 20 minutes' duration. The defensive work on both sides was good, and especially the goaltending, for during the greater part...
