With regard to the changes consequent upon the recent action of the Corporation, a few words might be said. It is well known that the expenses of the Nine are mostly met by gate receipts; but as no more admission money can be taken on Jarvis, a large part of the Nine's support is taken away, and consequently larger subscriptions must be raised.

Since able instructors in the different sciences are not wanting, a series of short courses of evening lectures on the natural sciences might profitably supplement our regular instruction.

It is in these that we need not only what we have, but more. We should have not only a course for the last class, but for all, - a course, or a series of courses, which shall...
