There was an unusually good attendance yesterday afternoon at Appleton Chapel to listen to the regular Thursday afternoon vesper service. After a voluntary by Mr. Locke, the choir rendered the hymn, "Jesus, My Lord." Then after a prayer by Prof. Peabody, the 147th Psalm was read responsively. Mr. W. N. Fessenden, the noted tenor, now singing with the National Opera Company, sang the tenor solo, "Salve Regina," by Will Cox, after which Dr. A. P. Peabody read a selection of Scripture and spoke on the following verse: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou should...
...every other respect, for it lowers the general tone of the college and causes that marked contrast between the swaggering type which, in a way, represents Yale, and the more refined type which is conceded to Harvard.

Nothing is pleasanter in the warm, quiet summer evening than to be stretched on the grass in front of Matthews and listen to the songs of the Glee Club. The 'Varsity Club has sung in the yard a few times this spring, and the Freshman Club but once. It seems too bad that when enjoyment can be afforded to so many by the exertion of a few, those few are willing...
...time of winter, of snow and hail, cold winds and frosts is all past. This Easter vacation has put a long distance between all that and the present fair days. Now come the delicious siestas after dinner under the trees of the yard, while we smoke philosophically and listen to the glee club. Now is the tennis, the ball games, the boating and the cool winds blowing into our open windows. Ah! ye gods! why can this not last always...
