...column a notice of the sad death of Professor Baxter, who was to have returned to his duties here this autumn. As all who have been in his classes will testify, Mr. Baxter was a very interesting teacher, and his kindness and geniality succeeded in making elocution quite popular among us, notwithstanding the small encouragement given by the Faculty to that important study...

He is in a probation or transition state, - in a sort of Purgatory, as it were. No soft electives or voluntary recitations for him, but instead of that a hard grind on his prescribed mathematics. Yet there is justice in all things; it is right that the Freshman should have three hours more of work than the Senior...
