...Here are my bookcases; aren't they handsome?" (They certainly were in good taste, because the taste was an upholsterer's.) "This set of Shakespere is a stunner. (I looked at the volumes; they were uncut, and Othello was standing on his head; I sympathetically put him on his feet) "And this set of Marryat's works looks very well on the shelves." (The books certainly did encumber enough space for Thackeray and Jane Austen's works and looked as if they at least had been read.) And so he went on. He had already "ragged" a sign, bearing...
...denominations. . . . We are sure President Eliot did not intend to be vague or ambiguous when he used the phrase 'theological teaching of a perfectly unsectarian character.' But we are also sure that he would find it difficult now to tell us what such teaching is. We may, therefore, safely set down the Harvard Divinity School as necessarily denominational in its practical workings, whatever character its managers may seek to give it, or may have originally claimed...
...have received from William Watson, Ph.D., a prospectus of his establishment for giving advanced instruction in engineering and the graphic arts. The system of instruction is the European, which has already begun to attract some attention in this country: but we have never seen it set forth and illustrated with such precision as is done by Dr. Watson in the explanation of his "Studio and Atelier."

Don't, at all events, go to the Gymnasium, unless the new one becomes fashionable; some men have lost the First Eight, Nine, or Ten in that way. And next year send in a contribution, - barring...
...classes of '44 and '57 have set a good example in placing stained-glass windows in Memorial Hall, and their liberality deserves the gratitude of the College. A complete series of such windows would materially increase the beauty of the Hall, and surely there can be found no more practicable way of securing such a series of windows than for these to be the gifts of the older classes of graduates. There would, too, be a peculiar significance in having memorial windows. We hope, however, that the tone of the windows that may follow will be somewhat more cheerful. Would...
