Many causes have recently been brought to bear which tend directly towards an awakening of this spirit of inquiry. The deaths of Generals Grant and McClellan have served to bring to memory many half-forgotten events of the war period. The series of war papers in the Century have been of incalculable worth in rendering our generations more familiar with the great strife which it was not our fortune to witness.

Refusal was promptly followed by a challenge to fight a duel. The story...
...present head, and few gentlemen can be found who will quite fill his place. The scholarly president whose work for his college has made it a power throughout the country, can feel assured that his labors for the past fourteen years among the students of Yale will not be forgotten. His work is its own reward. And if he feels that he should still persist in his present action, we trust that no effort will be spared to engage a gentleman who will prove in every respect a worthy successor...
