...University will learn with pleasure that Professor Norton expects to resume his work in the Fine Arts Department at the end of his sabbatical year. A rumor that he intended to retire had gained more or less credence and brought with it universal regret.

We wish to treat this in an entirely...
...time when we must make a change. When the university realizes this, graduates and others will, we believe, come to the front and take whatever action is necessary. Professor Trowbridge's letter, however, calls up very vividly to us what ought to be done at once, and makes us regret deeply that we are so far from realizing our needs...
