...series of lectures on Emergencies and Hygiene. Such interesting practical subjects, presented by such eminent authorities, can not fail to be of great interest, while the painful ignorance exhibited by otherwise intelligent men, whenever sudden disaster comes, shows how great is the need of such information. We think that these lectures, taken in connection with those on "Health and Strength," cannot fail to be of great benefit to the college, and we feel sure that they will be greatly appreciated...
...found that Williams won first prizes in the one hundred yards dash and quarter-mile run, in 1876, the first year of the annual meetings. Now, why has she so ignominiously failed to hold her own since that day? Simply through a lamentable lack of enthusiasm.

They hold that the aim of their organization is rather to foster sectarianism, than by a working union between all Christians in college, to spread unfeigned religious thought. They think that by snubbing some of their "Brethren," they will set before the rest of the world a fair pattern of the kindliness and brotherly love preached by Christ. This movement of exclusion, a bit of mediaeval intolerance must appear strange here in the most liberal university of America, - while...
