CONSECRATION OF REV. WILLIAM INGRAHAM | The Lecture Season. DR. O. W. HOLMES ON THE LATE PORT LAUREATE. The first lecture of the season before the Mercantile Library Association was delivered at Hope Chapel. Friday evening. The lecturer was Dr. 0. W. Holmes, of Massachusetts. The subject of the course is, “British Poets of the Nineteenth Century;’’ the subject of this lecture— “The Poetry of Wordsworth.’’ There was a very full at- tendanee. The lecturer commenced by an introduction, to show, as he said, hew it came that he was there to lec- ture upon such a topic. Some time since he had been in- vited to deliver a course of lecturer before the Lowell In- stitute, at Boston; and, having been informed that the people had become somewhat bored with science, he had passed over into the fields of poesy, and had gathered a handful of violets, daisies, passion flowers, and the like which he would scatter among his friends; and, in so doing, would make hie language as simple as possible. With this brief grace, said he, ‘let us square off and be- gin with the champion of the heavy weights among the British poets of the nineteenth century. All that it is necessary for us t0 know of Wordsworth can be briefly tolé. His life commenced in 1770, amd ended in the last part of the first half of the nineteenth century. He was, therefore, just entering life when the French revo- lutien commenced; he imbibed some of the practical principles of that era, but in the latter part of his life he became a warm supporter of the Church and the consti- ‘about half past ten in the morning the remaining amber of clergymen, entered the church and seat- Rey.

Wordsworth’s first and greatest faul’ was prolixity. It may be doubted whether any English poet bac more power to express many ideas ina few words than he; but he er used this power; and it is very evident that he required a longer time to tell a story than any person since the days of Dame Quickly, In the ‘‘Excnrsion’’ he takes five liyes to tell that the old man took his staff—a proceeding which is very common among oli gentlemen, and which needs not to beso particularly described. There is aothing so dangerous to poets as prolixity, The prolix writer taxy be read by his cotemporaries, but the next generation will be likely to throw him overboard.

If | men conld not support their families on the inadequate | amount of they must go to other pursuits. With regard to the advantages of the college it was neadless to speak of them, if thy must depend on their intellectual an¢ moral progress for the government of their people. Yale College was colonized originally from Harvard, and in her turn colonized Amherst, William, and Clinton Col- leges, as well as others in the South and West. The Uni- yersities of North Carolina and Georgia owed their origin | to Yale, and it might. therefore, be called a missionary | college.’ Teose among them who had mind enough to loo! beyond the struggles of ‘“‘hards and softs,” must be | | aware of the great advantages that the institution | presented. If their educating institutions were sustained, and under this kead be included the Bible, the pulpit, the academy, the district school, they woull, under God, prosper, and cover this vast continent with moral and | intellectual beings, ‘The meeting was, therefore, anim- | portant one. Twenty two years ago he was connected | with the getting up of a subscription which had been of | great use; he hoped that the present effort on the part of Mr. Breed would be carried out successfully. Yale Col- | lege was doing more than eny other institution, with the exception of Harvard, in the advancement of science. Agentleman present wished to know what plan had been adopted for the study of modern languages— whether such s study would be introduced in the changes vs part of the regular college course, and for which henors would be con‘erved. Profersor SIUUMAN replied that those languages were at prevent taught, and belonged to a thorough college course, but they were not required as a pagp of it. There were ne fixed profewors. sitbooglagfostcaction was given in them and t study was oue of the object that they desired to be attained. No grent, however, was to be expected from the State to wards the « Connecticut was a small State, coa- taining only 400,000 inhabitants, and there were three colleges notwithstanding, init, so that if an application was made by the friends of Yale College to the legislature, the answer would most likely be that the State had al rendy three colinges to provide for and coull not atfocd to give more Another gentleman present asked how many of the stu- dents reomed out of the college from want of accommo- dation. Professor Suman said about one half, There had , been some yelaxation made from the strict rules of the | college in the case of young men whose health required | it, and of others who required a 00m to themselves. Mr. Lop spoke to some extent in favor of education in general; and to show that its advantages were appreciated | by the most illiterate, instanced John Jacob Astor who, by | foundipg the Astor librayy, was aware of the prominent tance of literary acquiremerts. He also spoke ¢f | essity of a good philosophical apparatus, to atiord | instruction io students in physical science. The same re- | mark was applicable to libraries. He likewise was of | opinion that new buildings should be provided for the ac commodation of students. Dr. Laxcy, of Brooklyn, spoke to the same effect, and of the requirements of the college. The following resolutions were then moved by Mr. Wa. | M. Evarr:— Resolved, That this meeti to raise an endowment of $| learning and the interests of education at Yale College. Resolved, That a committee five be appoi 2) Chairman of this meeting, to co-operate with the a'umni and friends of the College in other parts of the country, in raising the proposed endowment.

In acocrdance with the second resolution, the following gentlemen were then appointed ax the committee :— Daniel Lord, William Aéams, Rollin Sanford, William B, Evarte, and Joseph B.
