...regretted that Mr. Perry's lecture-hour is so inconvenient to many who would gladly attend, though a change might not suit those who can go now. It is hoped, however, that the lecturer will see whether some other hour and place would not be more acceptable...

Either reviewing must be done before we go home, and left to lie fallow in the holidays, or we must attempt to go over...
