We believe that this is the first time that the Natural History Society has undertaken anything in the line of public lectures.

...attention of college graduates as offering an opportunity for a useful career. The growth of the railroad interests is simply enormous and the business connected with these interests each year assumes more and more the air of a profession. Here a liberal education is just as necessary for success as in any other form of trade and few forms of trade necessitate such a multiplicity of considerations. Many things may be said about a college education and many strange things are said, but the fact remains that a college bred man is by his education better fitted for success, irrespective...
