For example, out of the hundred or more men in History XIII hardly fifteen daily make use of the books reserved by Dr. Hart, although a large amount of reference work is necessary in that course in order to reap its full benefit. The advantages of a library like the one here are manifest, and if one does not practically discover it when he is a freshman, he surely ought during his second year make up what he lost the first.

They would not go so far as to demand the exclusion of foreigners from the various lectures...
...division stood firm to the onset for the enemy. the lecture proved to be a most interesting one, and was greatly appreciated by the audience. The Historical Society will probably next year give a course of lectures on the Civil War, delivered by old Confederate commanders, and undoubtedly will reap the thanks of the many who have enjoyed the present course of lectures...
