The Historical Society, and more especially those gentlemen who acted in its behalf, deserve the thanks of the college for their efforts in bringing before us the English critic and writer, Matthew Arnold. The lectures given under the auspices of the societies here at Harvard are always well received and interesting. The few which have been given this year are by no means exceptions. We think the success of the lectures held in the past ought to inspire new life into some of the societies whose only claim to success is the long list of members which appear yearly in the Index. If some of these societies would only show more activity in procuring for us lecturers of well known reputation and standing, we feel sure they would deserve and would receive the hearty support of the college. Success in the past should warrant renewed exertion in the future.
