...think, meet with general approval. The change proposed is this; that each of those courses be given two hours a week, and count as full courses. These course under Prof. Hill are made interesting, but they are also unsatisfactory, because the work laid out to be done, is, on account of lack of time, never fully accomplished.

Many of the early New England clergymen got their training there. All these reasons tend to bind Emmanuel and Harvard together. On account of this friendly interest, Professor Norton, who sailed for Europe last week, has been asked to represent Harvard at the approaching ceremonies, which will take place upon the fourteenth of June...
