...week from Wednesday there will be a thesis due in English 8 on any subject connected with Keats. A comparison of Keats and Sheley is advised as a good subject...
...instructive, as well as startling comparison between the growth of Yale and Harvard may be found in the Nation of February 18th. Taking, as a basis, the catalogues of the academic departments only, the writer shows the steady increase of the latter and the decline of the former. Graphic tables are employed which show a continuous upward movement for Harvard, while Yale, after many fluctuations, takes a downward turn from 1882 to 1885. In 1885 Yale entered 22 students less than in 1865. Harvard, on the other hand, entered 133 more. From such a standpoint, the writer's presentation...

From this he gives the teachings of the modern school of Protectionists. "The Evidence of History' is interesting in comparison with the work of Prof. Dunbar in the same line. The eloquence of the speaker is necessary to give force to the subject matter of the lecture on the Workingman. As a whole, the work makes the best use of the arguments at hand, but there is an element of sophisty...
