...pleased to announce that, unless some unforeseen hindrance arises, Gov. Butler will attend our commencement this year. Whatever may be the opinion in regard to the action of Harvard and the governor's answer, it will be remembered, as we have already stated, that Williams conferred the degree of LL.

Walker first commented on the position taken by Mr. Mill in his later years on the land tenure question, and then gave a complete statement of Mr. George's theory of rent and the nationalization of the land. As to Mr. George's three great arguments, he affirms that commercial disturbances are due to speculations in land. This assertion, however, has no evidence to support it, and is opposed to the opinions of all economists. Land is far from being an object peculiarly subject...
