...religious system before the recent changes it was often urged that an afternoon service would be more valuable and would be better attended than the usual morning service of prayer. At all events Vesper services are now to be held every Thursday afternoon. Although it would seem unnecessary to remind undergraduates of their responsibility under our present enlightened system of religious worship, we earnestly desire that they would encourage the preacher of the university in their work by a full attendance at these Vesper services. If we wish to show that Harvard has a true religious spirit, if we wish...

The actual life of men, the problems of the personal soul, the perplexities of social life; these, as well as the abstractions of the intellect, have proved their power to awaken doubt and to inspire faith...
...Sophomore classes refrain from all attempts to have a rush during any part of the evening's celebration. That a rush on the occasion of Harvard's 250th anniversary would be highly indecorous, every gentleman will be quick to appreciate. We trust that these few words will suffice to remind all lower class men of their duty toward themselves and their college...
