The opening of the new year brings to the University Chapel Rev. S. M. Crothers of St. Paul, Minnesota, a young man of great ability and of interesting personality. Mr. Crothers is about thirty years old, a graduate of Princeton College and Seminary, and consequently is especially interested in young men and in college life. The Arlington Street Church and Kings Chapel of Boston both called Mr. Crothers at the same time, so that his ability is known and respected here as well as in the West. Willingness on the part of such a man to come so far in service of college young men is a tribute not only to the man who comes, but also to those whom he desires to serve. We bespeak for Mr. Crothers a warm welcome from the students and the same interest in him and his work which his generous sacrifice of valuable time shows him to have in Harvard men and their work.
