Of Travel.

"Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education: in the elder, a part of experience."

—Bacon.

Driven by advancing age, failing health, a desire to study American systems of education, and to visit once more the haunts of College days, Professor Maclaurin was induced to tear himself from our society at the end of last term. We did not have time to say "Good-bye," for he could not bear a parting, but we welcome him back with open arms. To show that he really did go to study American institutions, we publish an article from his pen in another column. We commend this contribution to all students, and to the public of the Middle District.
