...amount of knowledge that excuses Sophomores from these additional hours of recitation is not great. The ability to read easy French prose can be acquired without much effort during the summer months. An hour of real study daily would do it. A fair knowledge of the grammar, especially of the verbs, makes up for some deficiency in translating. As to pronunciation, it faciltates the study of any language not to neglect this in the beginning. It is a strain on the memory to try to retain words of which the sound is unknown...

ANOTHER chapter of College history will soon be closed, and the needed rest of the long summer vacation will give both teachers and students an opportunity to review with calm judgment the results attained during these nine months of toil. The spirit of advance and improvement which has taken possession of the University has already borne good fruit; and the result of the still more important changes which another year is to bring with it is awaited with some anxiety,. but greater hope. The general tone of the College was never better. The whole tendency is one of increasing liberality...
