...prime object of University Extension is to bring the university to the people where they cannot come to the university. This is not a matter of pure philanthropy. The work in England is not done for nothing. When a town wishes to have lectures on any subject in Science or Literature, it sends to the University for a lecturer. The lecturer, either a Professor or a Fellow of the university, agree to give lectures, never less than six for about $225, the lectures coming at stated intervals and being of certain length.

We should think it might. Just at present, however, Harvard leads. And if the number of students in the Summer Schools, which is not included in the total of 2613, as stated in the Daily and elsewhere, be added to that total, the number of students...
...principal object of the study of elocution is to give a man possession of himself, and to bring his whole body into subordination, so that when he stands before an audience he may not be obliged to put aside his personality, but may be able to show the best that is in him. This is one of the most important functions in a young man's education...
