...undergraduates. We do not know whether the Corporation is considering the problem; we only hope that it is, for by a decision there we could get something definite done. But it was felt by many that the undergraduates should be the first to act, and that a generous subscription raised by them, although unable to pay for much of the building, would be the proper inspiration for the graduates. In spite of several expressions of this opinion, nothing has been accomplished by the undergraduate authorities, until it now seems too late for any mass-meeting or canvassing of the University...
More satisfactory is the study of Rideout's work. Here, at least, we have what is worth having and worth noting: the views of an enthusiastic admirer who is at the age when admiration is generous and little restricted by the habit of criticism.

He was an earnest advocate of his convictions, and steadfastly loyal to his ideals; nor did the unpopularity of any policy cause him to abate his ardor in its defense. His intellectual, as his personal, sympathies were wide. His glad recognition and generous encouragement of merit endeared him to workers in many fields. He was a just censor, a wise counsellor, not sparing of himself if he might help others. His critical instinct was distinguished for its delicacy, his taste refined to severity, his judgment clear and sober. His mind was ripened into...
