...faulty ought to bring that body to change its position on this question. Two more days mean hardly more than three or four recitations to the majority of men and these might easily be made up by a slight addition to the work after the recess. That the loss would not be a serious one in any given case is shown by the cuts already so kindly granted us, by instructors very well qualified to judge.

We are at a loss when we attempt adequately to praise the address, because it seems to us that nothing ore appropriate could have been written, nothing worthier of the genius of the author. A great occasion needed a great composition, and the skillful pen of the master has here traced words that will...
