...attack is made upon the founder of the Club, whose earnest efforts met only with careless indifference from the members. In a weak attempt to imitate the bad English of Artemas Ward, the writer declares that "owing to the indifference of the instructor in elocution, the interest in the club was allowed to die out owing to the rarity of the meetings," - thus kindly offering to the reader a choice between the two alleged causes of death. Mention is made of the "good work and conscientious endeavor" of the club in the past, and "its old position of usefulness...

...very interesting lecture was given on the 4th inst. by Dr. Phillips Brooks of Trinity Church to the students of Phillips Academy, Exeter, a school intimately connected with Harvard, and of which an ancestor of Dr. Brooks was the founder. We have only seen a partial report of the lecture in one paper, the Journal, but that is more than sufficient to create a strong desire either that the whole lecture should be published, or that the Reverend lecturer, who is so warmly esteemed and honored at Harvard, would deliver either the same, or a similar one, before the undergraduates...
