...delivered Tuesday evening before a small but appreciative audience. This is the first lecture of a political character which has been offered to the students in this college year, but as in other years able lecturers will present occasional essays upon topics of public interest which will, no doubt, well repay the attention of students of Political Science.

The editorial was, no doubt, generated by the proper spirit, but when we know the true facts of the case we shall see that it has not the slightest ground for its flippant sarcasm.
