Note and Comment.

The Yale Record speaks as follows of prominent Englishmen that have visited New Haven recently.

"Yale is especially fortunate in her trans-Atlantic visitors. Hardly a person of distinction in the religious, literary, and judicial world but has paid her a visit during his sojourn in this country and delivered her students a short informal address, tinctured by none of that formalism and stiffness which the uninformed are liable to attribute to greatness, but marked by that geniality and whole heartedness which is so distinctively an English characteristic. Canon Farrar, Matthew Arnold, and Lord Coleridge, all have spoken from the college pulpit, and each has charmed with his own individuality yet through each address ran a strong exhortation, an appeal fervent and ringing for higher aims and loftier aspirations and the pursuance of that ambition which is the foundation, the fundamental principal of all success, the ambition of unselfish striving after and working for the benefit and amelioration of one's fellow man. It is a remarkable fact that through these three addresses, there runs a spirit of practical Christianity, a desire to impress on those whom they address the need not of dreaming but of work, of work not for the selfish and narrow advancement of self, but for the nobler, grander love of helping those who, through ignorance or poverty, are unable to help themselves. It is a thought worthy of consideration, worthy of more than consideration of action."
