...with regret we learn of Dr. Hale's withdrawal from the number of the University preachers. His long connection with the University and his continued interest in its welfare will make his withdrawal from immediate connection with it seem a personal loss to every one. All of us have come in contact with Dr. Hale more or less closely, and have felt the uplifting influence of his life among us. It is for our own sakes, as well as for his, that we are sorry he must leave a work in which he takes so deep an interest. We earnestly...
...character of May Vernon. One who is familiar with a country church and its ways will be keenly interested in the story of "The Reverend Ambrose Wilson." The plot is less worthy than the treatment, and were it not for an unsuspected turn at the end, would seem shallow. The ins and outs of country churches, however, must have been observed to have been so well portrayed.

Every man in the University will join us in urging that the welfare of this society be looked after by its members who cannot escape the responsibility by resigning now when the condition of things is bad owing to their own neglect, nor by staying away from...
...classes. $25 deducted from the estimate for clothing would leave sufficient for a careful man; and the allowance for sundries should be cut $50 fully in order to approach Professor Palmer's estimates. Since every considerable item of expense is given separately, the allowances for sundries in all grades seem disproportionately large. The tables in two of the letters in the appendix to Professor Palmer's published speech, as well as the estimates in the catalogue, confirm this view. Travelling expenses are placed at $20, but if this refers to travelling during term time, it should be omitted entirely...
