...gibberish of Edgar, each in its peculiar tone telling a story of great and unmerited woe,- what a marvelous harmony of discords! When we have seen this play, we do not, it is true, carry away a single definite impression, or a moral expressed in words; but we do feel in our hearts a dumb sense of the hideousness of wrong and of the sanctity of suffering: we feel the weight of the mysteries of this life, and we are made ready for high thoughts. For the office of the Gothic drama is not to give us merely the chiseled...
...which, merely as a flight of the imagination, or to serve a more practical Deus-ex-machina end, dreams have been used by authors.

...weakness, or our strength. It is to them that we should turn our attention to alleviate our present distress. This spring should witness a greater number of contests between our freshmen and second nines, and the various school teams. If the school teams could be made to feel that the eyes of the Harvard management of athletics were on them, there would be an increase of vigor to a degree hitherto unknown. Nor should we stop with base ball. In the autumn let us send out foot ball teams to the various schools, and attempt to awaken there an interest...
