...well to notice here that this is merely for instruction, as additional charges are made to each one individually for breakage and chemicals used. We fail to see why the instruction in Chemistry should cost more than that in the other branches of instruction; surely, many of these courses where the professor only meets the class occasionally, and then only for a few minutes, should not be paid for more dearly than the most advanced courses in History or Mathematics.

It is as pleasing as a concert piece as it is remarkable as a composition. We hope that the Pierian will not fail to continue in this branch of music for which they seem to possess most talent. Mr. Lilienthal was warmly greeted and encored at the end of his song. Mr. Cabot's fine 'cello playing was likewise much enjoyed. A pleasant feature of the concert was a trio with...
