...remarks on the returned forensic to let him know what impression it has produced on the instructor, whether he considers it good, bad or indifferent. Now we have no fault to find with the present instructor, for he does all that anybody in his position could do, but we wish to call the attention of the Faculty to this matter, and ask them whether they do not think it would be worth while to have an instructor for forensics alone, instead of giving them to a professor who has plenty to do without them?

The tickets, we believe, will be ready in a day or two, and may be obtained of any of the gentlemen connected with the theatricals. We wish all success to the undertaking, and feel that we may confidently say, that if success is wanting, it will be more from lack of encouragement on the part of the students than from lack of discipline on the part of the performers...
