...gratifying to learn of the establishment of class prayer-meetings in the University. We understand that these meeting are not for men of any particular belief or denomination, but for all men in college which feel an interest in religion, whatever their sectarian views may be. We believe that there is a place in the University for such meetings, for although the Y. M. C. A. and St. Paul's Society are helpful to many, there are doubtless many men in college who are truly religious, and who feel the need of some religious association with their fellows...
...large collection of specimens of Massachusetts Birds, particularly the Summer visitors, has been placed at the disposal of the Natural History Society to illustrate Mr. William Brewster's talk to night.

Is then economic abstinence contrary to the love of your neighbor? Does the love of your neighbor preclude the love of yourself? If so, for what have Butler and Hartley...
...regular as clock-work. When the instant arrives, click goes the machinery and down falls the blow. So it is with our annually recurring complaints. Spring puts in an appearance, and with it must come its appropriate complaint. But you will say when you hear this particular complaint, "Oh that is the old one of 'keep off the grass!' " So it is. But why do we utter again the time-worn and useless cry? Truly, only because we think it has neither of these two qualities. Time-worn it may seem to some, however, but thereby only the more...
