Chamber under the auspices Of the
Educational Committee upon Tech
meal Education lastevening. There
was quite large audience of per-
sons interested in the subject, who

books, something. that would enable
the pupil in after life to produce
something and make living out
side of the beaten rut Of imparting
knowledge to others. He favored
the removal Of the University from

ton. The APPEALS space at this
