...College Journal says that the judges of the Philadelphia courts have established a rule, admitting to the bar without examination all graduates of the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. The same paper has a long editorial about Carlyle's supposed refusal of the honorary degree offered him by Harvard. Its moralization, and its aphorisms about "toadyism," are extremely amusing.

They comprehend some portion of Cicero...
