...debate of yesterday evening was but slimly attended owing doubtless to the rainy weather. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and a secret ballot taken on the merits of the question for discussion, "Resolved, that the United States should cooperate with other nations in the ferreting out and punishing of violent plotters against the established government," the debate was opened by Mr. Eaton, of the Law School, for the affirmative.

Indeed, the only learned profession which contains today a large proportion of bachelors of arts is the ministry. This sorry condition of things is doubtless due in part to what may be called the pioneer condition of American society; but I think it is also due to the antiquated state of the common college curriculum and the course of preparatory study at school...
