The real triumph of the course lies in the fact that such a difficult course can attract a hundred and thirty-eight men. The fact that a few find out that logic is monotonous to them is absolutely insignificant. The elementary courses of Professor Palmer and Professor Santayana are also not favored by any one. This result is still more...
