...acting seems strangely familiar, and elsewhere throughout the play the likeness is striking. The conception of the part is different from Booth's; it is not so artistic, but, like Fechter's, more even and consistent throughout. Hamlet, as Salvini shows him, is mad; but it is monomania. The idea of vengeance upon his father's murderer early fills his mind, even to the exclusion of his love for Ophelia. He forms his plan of action, and afterward lets nothing turn him aside from its execution...
...general system of receptions is impracticable to them, and even if possible, might become tedious and unproductive of the desired result. But there is one ground which should be common to both parties, now occupied almost entirely by the students; we refer to the College press.

The true memorial of a class such as that soon to graduate is the impetus it gives to under classes by its record...
...qualifications of those intending to become lawyers, he said, "His position implies fair natural powers, trained intellect, good common-sense, habits of thought and reflection, diligence of research and preparation, strict integrity and honorable purpose." Such is the foundation for one who would be a successful lawyer. The prevailing idea that success is measured by the amount of fame a lawyer obtains was by no means favored, and, continuing, the lecturer paid great tribute to those who with painful diligence and labor have built up and established our system of Jurisprudence, in all its parts and details, into harmony...
