But who can paint the probable horrors of the case if the visitors...
...EDWARD ATKINSON delivered a very interesting address on "Capital and Labor" before the Finance Club on Friday evening last. In spite of the Semi-annuals a large number of undergraduates were present, besides several members of the Faculty.
