Thus, I have offered the substance of Dr. Fuerst's public
lecture at Princeton, of October 1898: a performance that must
have disappointed somewhat, as, at its conclusion, near all of the
assemblage departed, after but cursory applause. Young Josiah
Slade, then a mere lad, albeit husky, of some eighteen years, made
his way quickly out-of-doors; for he felt, he knew not why, fairly
sickened in his heart; and had no query to put to the learned visitor.
Only one undergraduate remained, with an o'er-particular ques–
tion concerning Pasteur's method; and a stooped and palsied
emeritis professor, of the Faculty of Religion, with a querulous
peroration, on the ancient curse laid upon the
Sons of Ham.
