...entire college is due both to the Philosophical Club for its enterprise in inviting Prof. Adler to lecture here, and to that eminent moralist for his acceptance of the task. To all those who had the good fortune of listening to him last night, the effect of his earnest and vivid moralizing will be lasting and beneficial.
