...reserving one of its public meetings for this season of the year, when everybody is thirsty and the college pumps are used to their utmost capacity. Seriously, we congratulate the league on having procured such eminent speakers as will address the college to-night in Sanders. We are sure that Mrs. Livermore and Col.

...fully equipped until it offers to the students an elementary course in one of the grandest of the sciences, astronomy. It is with amazement that one in looking over one hundred and eighty, or more, courses fails to find even the mention of this almost subline study. We feel sure that a course in this science, conducted in the manner of the elementary course in geology, would be one of the most popular courses in the college curriculum...
