...Peabody Museum yesterday on "Indian Song in Relation to the Indian's Life and his Mental and Psychical Development." It was one of the series of Anthropological lectures, which have proved so interesting. Miss Fletcher said: The common supposition that Indian music is of a primitive order is altogether wrong. It is so unlike anything else that comparison is impossible. If it were to be classed among the great musical schools it might well be said to belong to the natural school. Indians break into song almost involuntarily and it seems to be their only method of expressing their emotions...
...India, said Vivekananda, some of which accept the theory of a personal God, and others which believe that God and the universe are one; but whatever sect the Hindoo belongs to he does not say that his is the only right belief, and that all others must be wrong. He believes that there are many ways of coming to God; that a man who is truly religious rises above the petty quarrels of sect or creed.

The rule has been, rather, that all should be given the use of the University buildings, in order to allow free play of opinion and contact of antagonistic ideas; all this to further Harvard's unending search after Truth. The sentiment has been that...
...political party purposes. Sufficient reason for the action we have not been able tofind. "Political party purposes" is an ambiguous phrase: if it is interpreted as "political machinery," the Corporation is right; if it is interpreted as "political education," it seems to us that the Corporation is distinctly wrong. It is conceivable that political clubs formed by students should degenerate into the tools of political bosses, and, if so, their abolition would be commended. The simple fact is that the one political club in existence here is not in that degenerate condition. Its activity is practically limited to securing...
