St. Paul's Society Reception.

The annual reception of the St. Paul's Society to new students took place in Phillips Brooks House last evening. Brief addresses were made by Professor C. P. Parker, Dr. Endicott Peabody of Groton, Rev. Prescott Evarts '81 of Christ Church, Cambridge, and R. S. Wallace '04. Professor Parker spoke of the wide range of interests at the University, and said that the most natural way for a young man to express his interest in religious matters is by taking part in philanthropic work. Mr. Evarts, in the course of his address, gave a short account of the history and work of the St. Paul's Society. R. S. Wallace '04, described some of the phases of philanthropic work, and spoke of the prominent part such work plays in the life of the University. Dr. Peabody, the last speaker, gave a strong address on the temptations which beset a college man, and said that one of the chief advantages of college life is the opportunity it gives for obtaining a knowledge of character and for forming strong friendships.
