...Sidney Bartlett, the Father of the Massachusetts Bar, told me that the three-years' course at Harvard was equal to seven years' work in an office. Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and Dr. Eliot, President of the university, spoke to the same effect. Dr. Eliot related with pardonable pride that at a recent dinner of old Harvard men a prominent young advocate had declared that, when he was a student, he had often heard it said that the course at Harvard was equal to ten years' actual work; that he was then incredulous, but that after being in practice...

The Lampoon - we are overcome with pride in our brother's success - has actually succeeded in keeping, until the time of issuing the first number, a new year's resolution, to dress old jokes in new costume. Well done, Lampy. Serve a few of prae-Adamite cold dishes, kept in your frigid zone, with new year...
