But however interesting and profitable Mr. Lodge's lecture may be, the announcement that it is the closing lecture in the course is not very welcome to members of the university. This announcement is indeed a surprise. The course is incomplete. True, we have heard from the law, the ministry, medicine, engineering and railroading; but where are architecture, teaching, journalism, literature? Are not these vocations as worthy of presentation before college men as those already treated? Particularly the occupations of teaching and journalism belong to college men, and certainly deserve as much prominence as railroading and engineering. With all our feelings of welcome for the lecture to night on "leisure," we regret most heartily that it was not appointed for an evening at least three weeks later. The end of a most valuable course of lectures has come far too soon.
