professors and their superior system Of
imparting instruction, advantages for Sc

members OF the faculty of this College
we recognize the existence Of those
qualities of mind and heart, which are
indicative Of the successful instructor

our intercourse with them in their pro-
fessional character, as the expounders Of
the principles of ancient and modern
jurisprudence, we have found them learn
ed in the Books" and wise in original
suggestions. The course Of discipline
which they have adopted, we regard as
in every way calculated to insure the dill
igent student success in acquiring q
knowledge Of legal science.
Acknowledging The benefits which we
have received from them as legal instruc-
tors, we will ever hold in grateful re-
memberance the efforts which they have
made by their example, (Which it will
be our pride to emulate, to inslill into our
minds the appreciation of the truth that
the profession which we have adopted
''employs in its theory the noblesl facul-
ties Of the soul, and exerts in lis prac-
tics the cardinal virtues Of the heart"

The Courier G Enquirer, speaking of
Cleveland, is surprised hat so beautiful
a city should have been named after the
Duchess Of Cleveland, the well known
of Charles ii. Whereupon the
Hcr0ld denies that the name
Of the town had anything to do with the
above known frsil but fair one. The
Town was named in 1876, after Moses
of Connecticut. a graduate Of
Yale, and Agent Of the Connecticut
Land Comsany.
