Professor Spalding, whose name was signed to the notice, but who had had nothing to do with its insertion, waited in vain for his class. It is with chagrin that we must publicly announce that there is still among us a man who stoops to forgery as a means of avoiding attendance at his lectures. Afraid to face the result of his own cuts, he has adopted the method of the coward. Unfortunately this individual will remain in our midst, enjoying...
