To-night the great farce of the season will be produced for the third, would we could say for the last time. At quarter before seven the friends of the college will assemble in front of Sever in their generous hopes of getting seats "before the students come." At seven, or soon after, it is quite likely they will be seated complacently in the pleasant but not commodious lecture room.

We abandon our long laments that these lectures, almost the most popular and most valuable lectures given here for several years, are held in Sever, for, though supported by members of the college at large, they were of no avail. But, this means of defending our interests having proved futile, we turn to the only other. If Sever 11 can not accommodate all, in and out of the college, who care to attend, then it is fair to argue that those for whom the lectures are especially intended, have first right to the seats. Do we ask too much when we ask that this right be respected? Certainly, if not respected, it may be justifiably asserted.
