The selection seems a poor one and cannot interest the students. Wieland's works cannot be compared with those of Lessing, Goethe, and Schiller. Goethe's Faust was read in this course last year and proved to be uninteresting and too hard for the students; why take up Wieland's Oberon, a work even harder to understand?

The glory of Chaucer's poetry will surely not grow dim in future years, nor the sweet music of our morning of song die away. Let all lovers...
...best of it is," continued Sue, "the philosopher has made the acquaintance of our friend Yung Thing, and takes quite an interest in him. The youth is to be at their hut to-morrow morning, and I am just dying to see how he will behave. Oh Loe! do you suppose the philosopher will choose Yung for his daughter?" Sue laughed at the absurdity of her thought
