...Peabody preached last night in Appleton Chapel from the text, "For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face." This verse, he said, calls our attention at once to the contrast between our present state and the future. Now we cannot understand all things, we cannot know God perfectly. This fact troubles many people and they think that if we cannot know all we can know nothing. But Paul says "now I know in part;" partial knowledge is not to be despised.

In the rest of the buildings, the ancient mode of ventilation still obtains. Apertures are provided through which the air may escape, the warm air is expected to create a draft, and there the matter...
...difficult to understand the theory on which the New Union has proceeded. But leaving aside the question of the propriety of its independent action, does it not seem better, that if such a league is to be formed, it should at least fully represent the debating interests of each university. It would certainly be more in accordance with a broad university spirit, for both of the debating clubs to discard their petty rivalries and to unite at least in those matters in which the University is concerned...
