This task which has been offered to the American school will doubtless require the labor of many years. This is not to be regretted, since these years will develop a new generation of American scholars, and will be no less rich in popular enlightenment, here in America in regard to the art and literature, the religion and the politics of the wonderful race to which we so largely owe our own civilization...

The trip will certainly be a most pleasant one for the members of the clubs, and will doubtless prove a valuable advertisement for the college...
