...very disagreeable task to disapprove in such a public manner the methods of a personally pleasant man; but something must be done to remedy this manifest injustice. There are some men who have been called upon but once this year, a circumstance well calculated to kill all proficiency in the subject. It is wholly essential that as many men as possible should be given an opportunity to pronounce the difficult words for which German is noted. As it is, many men are literally afraid of their own voices, into such long disuse have they come...

He comes in on a walk that borders on a run; begins to talk almost before he reaches his box, and often before he has taken off his coat or his gloves. The manner of lecturing is as varied as the individuality of the lecturer. A few sit quietly and read written lectures, some speak with few notes, and some with no notes at all. Few make any attempt at oratorical effect, and as the students' eyes are generally on the note books, such...
