...most interesting work entitled, "Conversations in a Studio." Two persons-presumably architects-meet in their studios, and naturally talk of that which is nearest to them, namely, of art. The conversations, nine in number, centre upon painting, sculpture, music and literature, but they are always "straying from the direct" and touch all manner of subjects. They contain a mint of information, and show the many-sidedness of Mr. Story's intellect; he is as much at home with the Greek drama as with the English poet, with history as with philosophy, with mesmerism as with criticism. He quotes frequently...
...Cromwell for, while Napoleon, unknown in 1796 was at St. Helena in 1815, and while only about ten years invened between the deaths of Charles the First and Cromwell, Bismarck has been in power for nearly thirty years. Although not a commander he is a conqueror. He began to direct his armies in 1864 and in 1871 France was compelled to sue for peace. On the significance of the French belief in the meaning of Bismarek's career depends their belief in the destiny of France.

Through his many writings, Professor Bowen extended his influence beyond his class room, and brought additional credit to himself and the university.

He was a humanist, not a specialist. The nature...
...Orders have been given to Blaikie and Davy for 21 boats including fours, pairs, doubles, and singles. The only trouble with the borts is that they were not ordered early enough. The resignation of Mr. Agassiz from the committee on boats has left, or did leave, no one to direct the work of getting them ready. An order was given to Blaikie for several single shells with one lap-like those used by the Union Boat club, but when the builder went to find out what the Union boats were like he found three species of the same genus. Having...
...article of most direct interest to college men in the February number of the Outing was written last November by Mr. R. M. Hodge, on the then vexed question of which college would win the football championship. Speaking of the condition of things in November Mr. Hodge says that Harvard football is characteristic of the Harvard spirit of indifference. Yale is always conservative. The extremis individualism of the college spirit at Princeton, is the most salient point of her eleven's play. Mr. Hodge shows some judgment in pointing out the merits and defects of each team, but ventures...
