Bound To Say Something

Among other anecdotes of university life Dean Hole tells of an occasion when there was scme doubt as to the locality of a city mentioned in a Greek text, and the lecturer addressed a youth who had just conie up f rom the famous Shrewsbury school, "Now, Mr. Bentley, yon are a pupil of our great geographer, Dr. Butler, the Atlas of our age, who carries the world not on liis shoulders, but in his head, and you can probably enlighten us as to the position of this ancient town." "I believe, sir," was the prompt reply, "that modern travelers are of the opinión that the city ought to be placed about ten tniles to the southeast of the spot it now occupies on our map." After receivtng respectful thanks for bis information, the inforcner told Dean Hole as they left the lecture room that he had never heard of the venerable city before, but that for the honor of Shrewsbury and the reputation of Dr. Butler he feit himaelf bound to say something.
