Governor Butler has said that he regards with the "deepest sensibility" the honor shown him by this college, and it is but natural that he should show his feeling by accepting our invitation, and that we should be glad to receive him as an honored guest.

Time will show whether or not they erred in drawing the line at Gen. Butler. It must be confessed that they have increased the honor attaching to a LL. D., when coming from Harvard.
