Sirs: If I understand correctly the original object of the athletic grounds back of Divinity, they were intended especially for that large class of Harvard men, who from want either of dexterity or time, do not play with the 'Varsity and class teams. One of the two fields into which those grounds are divided, ought unquestionably to be at the disposal of the freshmen; that leaves one field for the "table" teams, society teams and the like. Yet even this one cannot be used for its proper purpose because the teams for the inter-scholasitc league must play there...
...glad to welcome the return of the season when the Vesper services are part of the religious teaching of each week. The meetings are impressive and appropriate, and serve a purpose. Those who have never had a chance to attend these Thursday afternoon exercises will understand, if they go this afternoon, why the Vesper service draws so many people to Appleton Chapel; those who in former years have been delighted to attend many times, will be sure to find the pleasure renewed...

It was shown that a man may understand a subject thoroughly and yet be unable to impart his knowledge to others, simply because he does not know how to do it. Assuming, as one has a right to do, that a large number of college graduates will become instructors, it appeared that a department of pedagogy...
...There is a divine world for us because we postulate it, because we act as if it existed. This part of Kant's doctrine is the ossence of common sense, and contains the philosophy of the modern high-minded man of the world. Kant only became difficult to understand when he proceeded to investigate all the world of experience in the light of this theory. Towards 1769 signs of a revolution in Kant's mode of thinking were visible. He became convinced that space and time did not exist. Therefore all the outward world, which we fix in space...
