1165 - L. Dec. 24: 1/3 - Those who attended the lecture last night of
Fitz Hugh Ludlow, were keenly disappointed. His subject, "Good Living,"
is one which should be treated with a "biending of gravity and humor."
The lecture was a mass of incoherencies, put together without any con-
structive idea or purpose to give them unity... it was altogether unworthy
of the reputation and spirit of the man, and vastly unworthy of the sub-
ject. Ludlow, knowing he had made a failure, pleaded with the editor
to make no mention of it in the LEADER. He said he had been critically
ill only a week before and had made no preparation. "This is no excuse
however, because a man has no right to lecture on 'Good Living' when
he has nothing to offer but a mass of indigestibles." (7)
