A secondary object is to suggest lines of reading to such members of the University as desire some knowledge of English Literature without the minute study demanded by the regular courses of instruction.

The subjects and dates already announced are as follows:

FOUR ENGLISH WORTHIES.

Jan. 16.- John Bunyan.

Jan. 23.- Sir Thomas Browne.

Feb. 13.- Samuel Johnson.

Feb. 20.- Charles Lamb.
