Never was sueh a feeling of sorrow and
deep regret among the students, as upon

hor services wore most needed, called

wore the embloms of truth, her actions

"Why is it that so many of our classical
students of good ability, with all the in
ducements before them which education
can oiler, become discouraged, bid tho
classics good-lvy, and refuse to continue
in this course of study? There are roa.
sons for this. Tho one which comes to
