The London correspondent of the Advertiser says in a recent letter: "Harvard alumni will be glad to know that a recognition of the claims of American scholarship is about to be made by the English university of Cambridge, in the person of Prof. W. W. Goodwin. Your eminent Greek scholar is to receive the honorary degree of LL. D. at Cambridge on the 12th of June, in company with Sir John Lubbock, Matthew Arnold, M. Pasteur, the great French chemist; George F. Watts, the painter; General Menabrea, the Italian minister in London; Sir Alexander Grant, the principal of Edinburgh University, and other distinguished men. Professor Goodwin's honor is not only well deserved, but it is peculiarly appropriate as coming from Cambridge, where his books have been in use for several years, and where he has many friends. The Cambridge men wondered at first, when Professor Goodwin's work on Greek moods was brought under their notice, who he could be; and were not a little surprised to find that such a learned treatise was from the pen of a Yankee professor. But now that not only Professor Goodwin's books, but also Professor White's and the works of Whitney are widely used in our universities; this early ignorance is dissipated, and there is a more respectful feeling towards American authors.
