...liberal bequest to Dartmouth made by Julius Hallgarten, the banker of this city, has a bit of history contected with it, says the Concord (N. H.) Monitor. He was a Jew, and much wonder has been expressed that he should remember the New England College. A few years ago the Rev. Henry E. Parker, D.

This is the reason...

It is only because it is now the season when this nuisance is most annoying; we are constantly thinking of present things and wonder how we ever endured them before.

The college may think that plank walks are more expensive than a proper grading and relaying...
