A prevailing fault among the students here is that too little attention is paid to lectures given especially to their benefit and that only when some distinguished visitor speaks do they show their approbation by a good attendance.

But "The Collegian," good as it was, did not escape the fate of its predecessors, and, after the publication of six numbers, it was discontinued, presumably from non-support...
