...becomes of the highest importance. It is often asked - and frequently too, by honest inquirers - of what value is the study of elocution and what does it accomplish. Mr. Hayes, in his talk to students in Holden Chapel the other day, gave perhaps what should be a sufficient answer, viz.: the skill to so impress our matter that it shall go for what it is worth and be felt and understood.

Mr. Brooks. Where is the Finance Club? A stirring lecture from some prominent financier or able business man would do much to gratify a widespread interest in college. Active legislators are prone to sneer...
