PROFESSOR SIMON NEWCOMB, of Washington, will give three lectures on Taxation in Sanders Theatre, on Monday, December 8, Wednesday, December 10, and Friday, December 12. The lectures begin at 7.30 o'clock. The public is invited...
...discovery by the Corporation that, by a clause in the will of the donor, Appleton Chapel can only be used for religious services and public exercises is a most unfortunate one, as it necessitates finding some other place for the instruction in elocution which is now given there by Mr. Riddle.

The use of the word "absence" is rather arbitrary, and for that very reason deserves to be remarked. "Absence from a recitation" is taken as the unit of censure by which all failures, enumerated in section 30, to perform duties, are measured...
