...Society, the second of which will be delivered at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. Under the title of "A Democratic Religion" Professor Zueblin throws the light of the best modern American thought upon some of the questions which present-day undergraduates find filling a large share of their more serious consideration. We venture to believe that in some respects the views of the undergraduates are more nearly correct under modern conditions than those of "the powers that be" in the University. An example will illustrate: We undergraduates believe, by democratic and thorough organization of all the undergraduate community into classes...

...poetry, E. E. Hunt's translation and P. A. Hutchison's "Quatrain" are well-phrased, and the "Song" by W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez has a pleasing melody. But most notable is J. H. Wheelock's "Dawn in the City," which, in spite of serious defects, is well worth reading. Its merit lies in the vividness of its pictures, and the success the writer achieves in conveying the feeling inspired by a prospect of city streets in the gray light of morning.
