BEFORE, Harvard indifference was the target at which he shot his blunt arrows; now it is the non-attendance of students at the lectures of the Rev. Joseph Cook. If it were only Mr. Cook and his lectures to which he wished to call our attention, he might be excused; but our agitator cannot do this without impeaching Harvard College of snubbing a genius, Cambridge of "Miss Nancyism," the Nation of making mistakes (!), and himself of ignorance...

Mr. LeMoyne is, moreover, occupied with his work on the University, yet manages to keep his men steadily practising; while the captains of Weld and Holworthy, who have no such conflicting duty, still find their ease...
