Grant Showerman. author of the papers collected in the volume entitled "With the Professor," is professor of Latin literature in the University of Wisconsin; and his book will make many a graduate of an Eastern college wonder if he would not have been luckier if he had learned the tongue of Horace from one whose acquaintance with the tongue of Browning and Lowell produces such a paper as "The Professor Travels in the Realms of Gold." Here is a charming allegory of education, a glorified account of a life progress from Sanders' Primer to the heights whence are visible fairy lands glowing with fine thought and gracious expression.
