...extensive sale at the New Haven institution. No news could be better than this, nor more fruitful in promises for the future of the Yale freshmen.

While he was a lecturer in Political Economy he was always a staunch supporter of protection to American industries. Professor Bowen now confines himself to Philosophy, and the popularity of his courses attest his success and the esteem in which...
