Professor Royce's Course for Seniors.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Sixty-two members of the Senior class accepted the invitation to take part in a series of weekly discussions at Phillips Brooks House under the leadership of Professor Royce, on the question of the religious beliefs of students. Of this number, 27 were present at the first meeting; at the second meeting, there were just. 15. It was asked and agreed that each should write a brief paper on the subject; full notice was given, both to those who were present the first evening and to all through the notice column of the CRIMSON--and with all this, there were three papers presented!

The subject itself is of interest, in greater or less degree, to everyone. This was sufficiently brought out by the fact that a great many of those who were unable to join voluntarily expressed sincere regret thereat. To conduct the meetings there could be no one more enthusiastic than Professor Royce. His experience among college students along these very lines has been at wide indeed; his success has been at least as wide as his experience. That only 62 out of over 700 Seniors should have been cared to take advantage of this opportunity is in itself regrettable; that of these 62 but one fourth should take the trouble to live up to what they have given others reasonably to expect is shameful.

Co-operation is the very essence of success in any such enterprise as the present one, especially where everything is voluntary on both sides. The acceptance of the invitation was not a mere favor; it imposed a moral obligation to live up to one's word, to do that which shall make these weekly discussions--which, by the way, last but one hour and will be held weekly up to the 'April vacation only--a source of mutual benefit. The class meet this evening in the Parlor of Books House at 7.30. E. ANGELL'11.
