more annoying than the carrosades by which
they we're bombarded 10 the Board Of Oserseers
Let us remind the Judge that the point ia
question lie not the precise verbal CORRECTIVE" OF
this journal in lite ststemen. Of the c,ss, b1'
whether the Corporation Of H4r~nd College, 10
bssipg OF sn alleged great increase OF attend
ance Cd the Law School. the nomination OF hr
Edward G LoriDg TO professorsb'P 10 H. did
not make statement which. ii true al all WAS
true only in sense not at all to the purpose for
which they made il. We do not see that upon
this point Judge Parker essentially helps the
csse Of the Corporation. Suppose be has de-
tecttd mote 10 our eye; that neither removes
uor eclipses nor wiuks out Of sight the beam
found by the COMMITTEE Of the Overseers In the
Coipora,ioB's vision.
We conjecture from one paragraph of Judge
Psrker's letter that be regards the comparison
which. following the report Of the Committee of
The Oyerseers we we're led TO make between the
former and the present attendance on the Law
School, az some imputatiou upon himself Is
professor 10 it. We, therefore, take thus o,cs-
zion 70 ssy that we fully coiocide in the general,
AID uext 10 universsl. opni n that Judge Parker
is every way excelently adapted to the place
which he holds aud coinciding also, with the
equally general opinion Of the inadequacy of his
present colleagues, we think the fact that the
Scbo u holds its own all that possibly could be
eIpe cted under existing circumstances.
Our suggestion, borrowed also from the report
Of the Committee Of the Overseers of the en-
ploymeDt, "as occasional lecturers on soeci al
"subjects of professional geutle men of dlstio-
"gushed reputation, whose connection viii il
"Diebt give al ecat TO the School, the Judge
cbaracterizes as "an imprac,cable arrange
"ment and Re adds, CURLY and pointedly "the
claw cannot be taughs by Lyceum lectures"
True enough 1t is precisely on tina, ground
that we objected to the original appointment of
Mr.. Loripg as lecturer, and to the subsequent
attempt to make him Professor. The Law canno.
be taught by Lyceum lectures Exactly so and
what, pray tell us, is Dir Edward Loring
more or less than Ly ceum lecturer! Will the
Judge undertake on his personal Ono. profession
al) veraciy to cay that he ever heard OF Me.
LOriDg az lawyer The law csnnOt be taught
by Lyceum lectures tina: il true; bat still there
is choice even in Lyceum lectures; and between
such as Mr.. Loring delivers, and such might
perhsps be bad from "professionsl gentlemen Of
" distinguished reputation" we should imsgioe
there is difference worth attending to
Judge Parker further informs the public
through us that he first recon nende1 the change
Of Judge LoTiDg from lectureship to 4 profess
sOrsbip, which statement be m-t~~ 80 Ja'''ce
..n ~. o,uivrauou." OF THE recon nehdaton
Of Judge Parkers but one explanation occurs to
us-just TO the CORPORATION NJ doubt bu; not
very complimentary. Judge Parker thinks the
School needs third pcoiessorshp, aud he is also
one Of that practical sort of persons who esteem
half loaf as better than ~ bread Upon this
point Of third professorsbip we dare say The
Judge nay be right. A. oil events, his d-llb-
crate opinion upon that point is entitled to much
greater weight than any ordiO,ry tugse.tion CUT
sorily thrown out, or even than the arguments
tive suggestion of the Committee Of the Over
seeIs, whose thoughts were msiuly on another
point Perhaps there ought to be a third profess
sorship; but if so the reasons given by the Cor
pora,ion for establishing it were neither candid
nor hardly true, and Mr., Edward o. LOring is
not the man whom Judge Parker ought TO have
for colleague.
