One of the greatest privileges of Harvard students is the opportunity of attending throughout the winter, an endless course of lectures on various subjects, instructive and entertaining, delivered by men of reputation. Our College Conference meetings, although informal and unpretentious, are, perhaps, after all, the most valuable of all lectures. The subjects discussed are to us students, living questions, and the opinions of men like President Eliot, Professor Norton and the Rev. J. G. Brooks, are likely to impress deeply young men whose minds are still open to conviction. Our dogmas are as yet unformed, and here is an opportunity to mould them well. Tonight, Mr. Geo. W. Cable speaks on a subject which concerns every man. It is needless to commend the lecturer to the college; all know who he is, and his reputation as a novelist is sufficient to insure a favorable reception. His added success as a lecturer only serves to make the opportunity more precious.
