...services in Appleton Chapel last evening were conducted by Rev. W. B. King of Christ Church, who took for his text II Peter I, 5, "Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue." It is remarkable how single words often express in their development the history of whole phases of human history. The word "virtue" in the text is a fitting example. The Greek word used by St. Peter had a simple meaning compared with its translation, a meaning parallel to "virtus" from which we get our word. It meant all that is brave and manly, all that is distinctly...
Manliness is a quality that every lad longs to possess; it is his aspiration to be manly. And as he gets into school, he there tries to exemplify his conception of the word.

This running of the judges at every interval of two or three...
...Soldiers' Field, have begun their work of canvassing the college. We hope that every man may feel the responsibility of helping the collectors in their work by quick and liberal subscriptions. The duties of collectors are arduous and unpleasant at the least. The treatment which these men receive is often more like that which would be accorded a book agent; that they are fellow students, fulfilling legitimate obligations, is only too often overlooked. In this particular case, the object for which contributions are solicited is one which we ought to consider a pleasure to help along. We can be assured...
