Professor Royce's Remaining Lectures.

This evening Professor Royce gives the twelfth lecture in his course on "Modern Thinkers." There are now but two lectures left; one on "The Philosophy of Evolution;" one on 'Optimism and Pessimism." The first is of a nature to interest a rather large and varied class of students, so far as the subject is concerned; whilst the other is especially popular in the method of its treatment and could in the main be understood by itself without reference to the preceding series. The former of the two is the lecture for this evening; it should call forth a large attendance, inasmuch as it will probably prove one of the most attractive of the series.
