...observed with much satisfaction that the students were beginning to take the initiation in the abolition of college prayer, so far as relates to compulsory attendance. Their neglect to do so hitherto has been very discoursing to me in my guerrilla warfare on the regulations during the past two years, and I had been planning to prepare a memorial, signed by myself alone, for the coming meeting of the overseers.

Altogether we can anticipate a very enjoyable series of concerts. This is a part of a liberal education which it behooves Harvard men to make the most of, for they have peculiar advantages in this respect. There were not so many present last night as we should have liked to see, an absence for which perhaps the election...
