Considerable comment has been made because as yet no arrangements have been announced for the lectures which we were promised from Mr. Godkin, the editor of the N. Y. Evening Post, on the subject of free trade. We remember the pleasure the college experienced in listening to Professor Thompson of the University of Pennsylvania, when that gentleman gave his lectures on Protection; and it is to be presumed that the lectures on free trade will be equally interesting, both from the ability of the lecturer and from the nature of the subject.

Men who combine both qualifications, namely, natural ability and thorough knowledge, most perfectly, are the most successful, and get the highest pay. Then there are those who fail, because they undertake to do what even their...
