The number of delegates who were assembled was twenty, and after two days' deliberations they decided on suggesting to the minister of public instruction the substitution of two modern languages for the Latin and Greek hitherto included in the Lycee curriculum, the appointment of a committee of scholars to mediate with the masters, improvement of the food, suppression of the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by the concierges of supplying small luxuries at exorbitant prices, and, finally, the amnesty of some scholars recently expelled from Toulouse and Montpelier...

Hitherto, there have been very few desirable courses in this useful language, and in general it has met with neither the success nor popularity that has attended the French courses, which are, perhaps, the best-conducted courses in modern languages that the curriculum possesses. We hope, however, that the new course will be made attractive, and, what is of equal importance, valuable, which latter can be done only by placing the course in charge of a competent instructor...
