In spite of the unpleasant weather last evening, a large number of people gathered at the first of the Student Meetings held in the Globe Theatre. All the seats in the orchestra and dress circle, and nearly all of those in the family circle were quite filled with an orderly and interested audience. President Eliot and several people from Cambridge were seated in the audience. From seven o'clock till half past the chorus of about one hundred college men sang several hymns while the congregation were being seated. At 7.30 o'clock the regular services began. Prof. Peabody conducted the meeting instead of Rev. E. E. Hale, who will preach at one of the other services. Prof. Peabody made a very interesting address, to which the congregation listened attentively and appreciatively. The college choir sang twice during the evening. The anthems sung, "The King of Love My Shepherd is" and "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains," were well rendered; the soprano solo, the duets and the quartette in the first one were particularly pleasing. The pieces though familiar to college men were new to the audience.
The meeting was thoroughly successful in every way and was a fortunate beginning of the movement for whose good results so many men look with earnestness.
