...last Livy is rendered into clear, intelligible, good fighting English, by such well-known scholars as Alfred John Church, the Oxonian, and William Jackson Broderibb, a late fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, says the N. Y. Times. The translation covers the history of the second Punic war, and is the only one of any merit that has been made since Baker's, which was published...
...Yale may go for post-graduate instruction. The place for the founding of such a university is in a large city; there it is where best can be gathered great minds.

This fear, however, seems to us ungrounded, when we consider how much greater care is generally given to the preparation of theses than of forensics. Another reason for confining this privilege to candidates for honors may be that it is meant as an additional inducement to students...
