...intelligible form; 2d, to deliver it so that they can be heard, and, if possible, so that they can hold the attention of their audience. If it is impossible for the College to secure such men, although other organizations seem to find no difficulty in doing so, we would suggest that lectures such as have been given this year would do much more good if printed in pamphlet form and distributed, than they do by being delivered. One word more. People are not likely to go to hear a lecture on such a subject as "Ideality in Science...

The distance - thirty miles - is indeed rather long, but for this reason it will be all the more satisfaction for the team that is lucky enough to win it.

That their doing so would not necessarily by presumptuous or hopeless will be made evident by the following record. In 1872 the winning Wesleyan Freshmen made better time than four out of the six crews...
