...whom most credit should be given is Mr. MacDonald, of the above firm, by whom the utter ignorance of the artist in regard to the right division of the figure by lead-work (which in the construction of stained-glass windows is all-important) was overcome, and the present richness of color and fine effect obtained. This central or figure portion of the window represents the Chevalier Bayard standing on the field of battle clad in the armor of his time. The attitude is graceful and majestic, and the effect of the figure is greatly enhanced by its being brought...

In every way the Class of '76 is eminently fitted to inaugurate the system of open elections, and so to throw off that partiality of choice that hitherto has, in some measure, detracted from...
...free-will and accord, but who might be compelled by the evil associations of the place to depart from the straight path of virtue - had better stay away from Saratoga until some one can "insure" them against the intrusion of the aforesaid gamblers and blacklegs; and as at present there is no company which takes risks in that line they are likely to remain away for some time to come...
