President Porter in his recent lecture on law as a profession, spoke of the studies which a man should excel in who studies for that profession, and also of the power of rapid thought and coolness, which are necessary for the study and practice of law, being two different things. In such a country as our own this profession offers great advantages to one who has political aspirations. Almost every one who wishes to engage in a political career thinks it necessary to enter it by means of the law. The financial and social inducements are also strong, not that...
...part of the college grounds has undergone so many changes, has been affected by so many improvements, as Holmes' Field; and no part can to-day give more emphatic evidence of the continued and rapid growth of the University. Seniors and juniors of to-day remember the field as something rather unsightly, swampy in some places, with an occasional cluster of willows, which, with one or two striking exceptions, were of exceedingly poor growth, and bordered by the Hospital and the Society building on the north, the old Holmes House on the north, the old Holmes House on the west...

This assumption, once at least, explicitly stated, is the most...
...audience as to call forth a demand for its repetition, which Mr. Gericke unwisely yielded to. If the rule against repeats is to be broken, it would seem as if a piece of more real musical merit might furnish the occasion. The Melusine overture was taken at altogether too rapid a pace, and even then the violins showed a tendency to break away from the conductor's time: it was otherwise well done, the delicate runs in particular being evenly, and carefully brought out. The symphony was, on the whole, very well played. It must be confessed however, that...
