...entries announced for today's meeting give promise of a successful exhibition. The interest of the entire body of students in the occasion has been satisfactorily shown by the ready sale of seats and of tickets, as well as in other ways more direct.

It will be a great thing for American scholarship when the youth of America are able to do the same - spending, say, in the course of their university career, successive terms...
