...close to the fast revolving grindstone, and are allowed no opportunity to learn the personal history of the Father of His Country. This complaint is time-honored, and doubtless will continue to be so, but still we repeat it in the vain hope that the rulers some time will hear our prayers. Why should not Harvard College fittingly observe this legal holiday? It certainly would be a benefit to all of us, immediately after the midyears, to have a day of rest.

The gentleman entered on a humerous speech, and, after creating repeated laughter, went on to say that 30 years ago five teachers were sufficient to teach Latin and Greek. Now the whole is elective, and ten men work harder than those five did. They gave only 28 hours a week in new instruction, and then, perhaps, half of them were not actually devoted to new instruction, and now 87 hours were given...
