THE WOMBAT. 53 



Although we greatly regret the harm his retirement 

 must cause the college, we are glad to hear that he is likely 

 to do much better for himself otherwise, and we are sure that 

 he will always be ready to lend a helping hand when it is in 

 his power. All of us will join in wishing him every success 

 n his profession.
