CONKLING AND FOLGER-1867-1868 149 



&quot;Bill, did you go to the meetin last night!&quot; &quot; Yes.&quot; 

 How was it T &quot;It wa n t no meetin , leastwise no p Uti-

 only one of them scientific college purfessors lecturinV

 strengthened, by this homely criticism, in my determina 

 tion to give my efforts henceforth to the new university.
