The cordial reception at Harvard of Mr. R. G. Moulton as a representative of the University of Cambridge, is a feature of the era of good feeling which exists between institutions of learning on different sides of the Atlantic. It is a state of feeling which must be perpetually cultivated. We were not only glad to welcome Mr. Moulton at Harvard as a member of John Harvard's University, but a representative of foreign culture,-one who could exemplify to us new ideas, and give us a glimpse of methods which our independence or sell-conceit, whichever we may choose to call it, may not permit us to adopt entirely but which cannot fail to improve our own by example or comparison. The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, in 1886, gave Harvard men the opportunity to have a long series of lectures by the delegate of Rome, Professor Rodolfo Lanciani. Smce then Professor Drummond has been the only foreign University man to visit us and we therefore greet such lectures as that of Mr. Moulton with additional pleasure because they few and far between.
