"A Few Remarks Made at the Alumni
| BrunUr Huesdays
Boston .Journal.l

Boston Journal.1
Professor Hall OF the university was called
upon to give some account Of the institution.
He said that the funds in hand and in pros
pect, $55O,00O, put the college on a fair basis,
yet m1sh mora is needed to afford a first-class
corps OF instructors and such a library as is
needed Professors now are able to do much
better work, because they can attend tu sepa-
rate departments. He urged the alumni to do
what they are able to build ao the ubrarv.
Professor Small made the declaration Of Judga
Bonney, to the effect that the money now in
view should be used to introduce practical
methods and studies text for forcible speech
in which he declared that Greek should be
made an elective study, and that the curricu-
lum should be made up with a view to the
needs of practical men. We neither mako
good Greeks nor good Latlns letlus make good
Americans. He was apDlauded by the young
or men, who were the majority. Rev. f. W.
Bakeman OF Chelsea, class Of 1866-who at one
time was the only man in his class, SO heavily
did the war draw upon Waterville-followed
in an eloquent appeal for a more liberal educa-
ton. He was glad that Colby has arrived at
point where its old graduates thought it the
best college to which to send their sons. He
priced the moral influences of Colby and should
send his sons there.
The members of the younger classes did the
most of the speaking and all of them favored
a change in the course of instruction. A mem
ber of the class of '84 urged that more atten-
tion be given to college sports, saying that
nothing could more surely promote college
pride than an excellent base ball club. Rev.
Mr.. Chase, e. +. Merriam of 86 and other old
er graduates stood up for good drill in the
dead languages. Mr.. Dunton, as a member of
the examining board, spoke in the highest
terms of the appearance Of the classes which
he had examined. The following officers were
chosen for the ensuing year: President, Rev.
G. w. Bosworth of Cambridge Vice President,
Prof. Charles W. Hamlln of Cambridge; Sec
retary, Augustus HI. Small Of Boston The re-
union was by far the most interesting .one ever
held in this city. Never was so deep interest
evinced in the instituation by the alumni in
this vicinity.

The Andover Review for Februar

The Andover Review for February.
Andover used to be associated with ideas
of hard and harsh theology. But Ando-
yer has not only lived but learned many
things and grown wiser. Not that 1t has
forsaken orthodoxy, but merely cast aside
the rough shell of au austere and uncompro-
missing Puritanism, while the sound kernel
remains. Of this we have sufficient evidence
in the AndoVer for February. Prof. Ger
hart here presents a very lucid and compre-
henslve sketch of the theology of the Refor-
nation with special reference to the infu-
ence of Augustine, which is shown to have
been unduly great The earlier Greek the
ology was christology, clarifying Christ.
Augustine laid undue stress on the fact of
human guilt and its consequences. The re-
suit was an exchange of the hopeful and
even joyful tone of the early Christians, TO
sombre and gloomy view of Christian life,
the way and the hope of salvation. Rev. T.
Il. Ewell gives an admirable paper on Wiclif,
whose career is outlined by sympathetic
hand, and the grand features of his charac-
ter warmly eulogized. An editorial on "An
Experiment ir Country Town" shows how
mucn one lVlng minister may do for the
general welfare of village. But the sub
ject of most present and practical impor-
tance is ''The New Charity" by Rev. Henry
A. Stimson. In this article indiserimnate
giving is clearly proved to be immoral, and
OF course injurious. Out door relief secured
by a municipality to improvident, shiftless
and usually incorporate families, is also
shown TO be demoralizing and greatly in
creasing the evil it processes to remedy.
The true method is demonstrated by facts
and figures to be that which DR.. Chalmers
pursued in the poorest part of Glasgow.
The Doctor divided his large parish into dis
tricts, and assigned the care of the poor to
their respective neighborhoods The result
was an immediate decrease Of the evil,
dlminution in the number of applicants, who
began TO help themselves directly they were
aided and encouraged by the personal ad-
vice and assistance of those who knew them.
Finally these ''doles" have been cut off in
many cities without increasing the number
of applicants to enter the almshouse.
