Lessing was perhaps the greatest critic that ever lived. His superiority was demonstrated in his judgment of Shakespeare, whom he understood far better than his English contemporary, Johnson. His literary reviews were fearless, and even his personal friends were not spared. He freed the German drama from its slavery to the French school, and showed how the French drama failed to conform not only to the German character, but to the fundamental principles of art. In the Laocoon he drew the distinction between painting and poetry, and made evident the great harm that had been done by the confusion...
...Williams of New York. He chose as this text the first and second verses of the one hundred and thirty ninth psalm, "Thou hast me searched and known; yea all my thoughts afar to thee are known." The worldly estimation of character he said, is made by expert judgment; but God alone knows man's true character. The choir sang Gilbert's "A wake thou that sleepest," Selby's "I will magnify thee," and "As now the sun's declining rays," by Barnby. The service closed with the 253rd hymn...
...graduate contribution by Mr. Edward Fuller discusses the proposed shortening of the term. The author opposes it because he fears that it will lower the Harvard standard; and because he thinks that professional men can well afford to spend their additional year in maturing their judgment.

...team. Harvard lost the toss and had to take the field, but, owing principally to Garrett's good bowling, retired their opponents for only 60. Then Harvard made 120, of which Garrett made 55. He was in over an hour and a half for his runs. He showed great judgment and, towards the end he hit all around with great freedom Among his hits was a drive out of the ground straight over the bowler's head. Carpenter, who was unfortunately run out, J. P. Lee, and Crowninshield, all played well for their runs. The Athletic Association started their second...
...well stopped by Linn. Nichols was out at first giving Phillips third on a poor throw by Willard. He soon got home on Henshaw's poor throw. Allen's strike out put the side out. Harvard batted in the usual order, Dean lead off and got first on poor judgment of Beaman and Foster. He stole second. Linn got a three-base hit, bringing Dean home. Howland was caught out on a foul near first by Boyden. Henshaw followed him in same manner. Willard got caught between second and third; in the meantime Linn tried to reach home...
