...extensive reading), gained from connection with English 7 and 8, I have never before been aware of; but I am quite sure that even the theses which are read in the class, (and which consume a vast amount of time uselessly,) are not perfect guide books to the "literary path," and the "finest bits of scenery" along it. I would like F. W. K. to answer, - without previously consulting an English literature, - what he knows about the authors I mentioned in my letter, and whether he gained his knowledge of them from independent research or the English Department?

Whenever there is a large plot of grass it is almost certain to be marred by a long winding path, which remains year after year, despite the efforts of the college constabulary to obliterate it. Fertilizers and non-fertilizers have been tried in vain.
