THAT the authors of the neat pamphlet now before us should have refrained from making public their names certainly shows commendable modesty. Nevertheless we cannot help regretting that writers who are evidently destined to make their mark in the field of literature should have felt this hesitation. The mantle of the Rev.

That their doing so would not necessarily by presumptuous or hopeless will be made evident by the following record. In 1872 the winning Wesleyan Freshmen made better time...
