Before very long Mr. Stanley will lecture in Boston. He is not an ordinary lecturer nor yet a man who will attract people merely on account of his remarkable personality. He has more than all a vast amount of new learning to add to the wealth of the world; this being so, it has seemed not out of place for us to suggest that Harvard invite the noted traveller to deliver his lecture under the auspices of the University in Cambridge, so that we, as students, may hear the lessons he teaches.

The amount of money which is used during a year's business is becoming very large, and makes clear how much the department is patronized.
