We hope that all who are able will be present at the race, and we can assure Mr. Goddard that...
...remains for men to show by their attendance that there is a real demand for them felt in the College. We feel convinced that no one who attends will feel that he has wasted his time. Professor Child and Mr. Perry have certainly shown a disinterested desire to afford us all the advantages in their power by offering to give these lectures, and it is but common courtesy to show some appreciation...
