Today the first test of the hockey team is watched with great interest. This first game of the season, and the only game until after vacation, is to be played against the Institute of Technology, also a comparatively untested team. The interest lies largely in the fact of the peculiar position that this sport now occupies. The Arena in supplying a rink that can be used in all weathers has changed the standing of hockey, and it has created the permanent possibility of a consistently first-class team to represent the University. It has also produced a new enthusiasm...
...facts of life. Religious service can be carried on in a hundred different ways, and its rightful interpretation should be left to one's conscience. Modern life is essentially rational and men are judged by their achievements and not by catechisms, the only heathen being the selfish, for the test of Christianity is not what we have but what we do with what we have. There is little use in trying to reach an ultimate religious unity when we take into consideration the differences of environment, race and character between one man and another, and when all the latest theories...
With the present system of a three hour examination in February and in June there is the well-known tendency among many students to put off today whatever work can be done tomorrow or the day before the half-yearly test.

In spite of the fact that the present system may be adapted to the ideal attitude which students ought to hold toward their work...
...study whatever is probably none too agreeable. Frequent hour examinations would necessitate an increase in the day-to-day work and put a premium on regularity. If each hour examination included questions on the work of a course from its beginning, as well as from the preceding test, the importance of the mid-year examinations in course lasting the entire year should be lessened. In any event the student should be in a much better position to do well on the semi-annual papers by reason of the work done for the frequent tests. This change, then, which...
...afternoon, each side scoring five goals. The forward line on the scrub team was the same as the one which has been playing on the first University team in practice, but it was so hindered in skating and passing by poor ice that its work was hardly a fair test. The most noticeable fault was the inability of the wings to keep up with the centre men. It must be remembered in this connection, however, that Palmer is entirely unused to a wing position. S. B. Smart at goal was the only regular man on the defence. The scrub team...
