...laboratory courses above noticed. Lastly, organic chemistry carries us into the higher fields of the science. It is but a step, yet enough to get some glimpse of its extended prospect. It is almost wholly theoretical, the course of lectures being illustrated by experiments performed, at need, by the student. On it is based all of the advances made by the science in our day. It requires rather an inquiring and philosophical mind than delicacy of manipulation, as it has to do with the theory of chemistry...
...Memorial Hall next year, we were surprised at seeing no more than a hundred. We attributed this lack of interest to a state of doubt on the part of some students as to whether the fare at four dollars a head would be satisfactory.

Professor Palmer was the second to speak, in response to a toast to the Faculty. He spoke with much warmth of the need of a better understanding between professor and student, pointing out the fact that the feeling which still exists, though yearly diminishing, is due quite as much to the student's idea that his instructor is not a student like himself, only at an advanced stage, as to the attitude of his instructor...
