Professor Palmer lectured before the Prospect Union last night on "The Study of Poetry." He said: Every hard-working man really needs some interest outside of his regular work to broaden him and to keep him from being dull.

The object of college training is not to turn out Kilrains and Sullivans, but to sharpen the intellect and broaden the man. There was a day when the plumes of the knight adorned the cap that crowned the strongest knots of brawn, but that was an age coeval with bull-fights and duels. No person with refined sensibilities can look upon a modern game of foot-ball, with all its cruelly...
