then conducted to open barouches, each high

The chief men of THE Embarsy, as usual,

GUS, and the crowd hailed him everywhere
with delight. The carriages stopping for a
moment on the route, he kissed young girl
who was endeayoring to shake his hand.
After numerous incidents of pleasing char.

t2lns or perfect themselves in, some modern
language. The different schools of French
Italian, German, Spanish languages and lite
rature, could not fail to number many beside
their regular students. The deficiency, then,
which we desire to see supplied is, to afford
exceptional facilities and privileges to that class
OF students. A clause to the effect that every
A. II. of any other College or University,
every man possessed of a diploma or license
IN any profession, every man abote the age Of
70. may upon application to the proper au-
thorities receive permission to attend any
Single or several courses of lectures at his
option, without being subject to the orli-
nary academic regulations, and on such condi-
tons or terms as the said authorities may d.
rect
Some such provision IS obviously necessary
FROM the very spirit and scope of the Univer-
sIty, for it would be absurd to subject parent
and son to the same academic rules, and yet
the University IS as much intended for the
man of forty as for the youth of nineteen.
That it viii be supplied in some form or other
In the definite organization of the University,
we have not a shadow of doubt, and this ae-
edental omission is the only deficiency which
by the most searching criticism and most de- |
termined fauItrfnding we have been able to |
discover in scheme which should fire every |
Southern heart with enthusiasm and patriotic |
pride.
