Mr.. EDiroR, wish to inquire through your
columns, if something cannot be done, and is not
TO be done, befoIc winter, in reference to get
ting up course ofLycEuM LECTURES for the
ensuing season II was understood last spring
that some Of our spirited and energetic young
men had taken the thing in hand and de-
tcririned that another winter should not pass
without something of the kind. What has
become Of that movement Let Us hope that
il has not fallen through. Why will not those
ON this subject Surely there would be suf-
fcient response to the call, and a committee
might be appointed and means raised, without
difficulty, to carry the thing forward and sus-
tain something through the winter that would
interest and instruct us. We need in this
place something of the kind more than almost
any reopla. The winter is the more lonesome
with US from contrast 70 the crowd and hustle
of summer and, moreover, it is too apt to be-
the case, lis it not y that winter with US, is
made mere empty time ofwaiting for another
summer to come round with its stir and its
gaiety. Are we not too apt to forget the value
value mind and intellectual pleasures more
than those low qualifications, which ruin SO
many, body and soul, don't give this thing up |!
As you regard the welfare of your fellows, rally
and urge it forward and you VIII receive the
thanks Of r'' MANY.
