Third, we have reason to believe that the questions have met with general approval, one proof of which is that a prominent professor of the Episcopal Theological School has assured members of the committee that the Union subjects are always selected in the debating club of that institution...
...have the benefit of a series of four lectures, under the auspices of the Massachusetts Emergency and Hygiene Association. The subjects of the four lectures as announced indicate that the information given will be valuable as well as interesting. The names of the lectures are in themselves sufficient proof that what is to be said will be spoken in an entertaining manner and with a thorough knowledge of the subject in hand.
