Of Mr. Studd, who is to speak in Appleton Chapel tomorrow evening, we would say that we believe that what he will have to present will be exceedingly interesting to college men, and at least will command their hearty respect. Mr. Studd has visited Yale and Cornell and other colleges, and the papers from those colleges speak even enthusiastically of him. He is an Englishman, and was educated at Eton and Cambridge (class of '83), so that his sympathies with college students are naturally very strong. As captain of the Cambridge University Cricket Eleven, he won great distinction in athletics. "A typical English athlete," he has been called, "a clearheaded, full-blooded, hearty young Englishman." Still his fame as an athlete, while it may excite interest, does not, of course, testify to ability as a speaker. If, however, we may judge from the cordial receptions which men of other colleges have given Mr. Studd, when he has addressed them, we are justified in saying that his discourse will be able, as well as interesting and instructive.
