...lecture last night was principally an answer to Henry George's "Progress and Poverty." Gen. Walker first commented on the position taken by Mr. Mill in his later years on the land tenure question, and then gave a complete statement of Mr. George's theory of rent and the nationalization of the land. As to Mr. George's three great arguments, he affirms that commercial disturbances are due to speculations in land. This assertion, however, has no evidence to support it, and is opposed to the opinions of all economists. Land is far from being an object peculiarly subject...

In view of the statement made by the association in last Saturday's HERALD, much of the criticism is uncalled for, but as that article was not published till after the Crimson's editorial was written it was not to be expected that it could take account of it. The constitution of the association being modelled after that of the Athletic Association, the executive committee were unquestionably authorized in electing...
