...product of the Foulis press in Glasgow shows why Foulis was celebrated for his beautiful editions of classical works. Foulis became a popular printer after the deaths of William Caslon and John Baskerville...
...whole group is a product of the Aldine Press. It is also the oldest, its date being 1501. Aldus Pius Manutius was a Venetian and did some of the most excellent work of any of the earlier printers. He reached the height of his art in 1501 when he printed editions of Virgil, Horace, Juvenal and Martial. Of the edition of Virgil only a few defective copies remain. It is impossible to find even a nearly perfect volume. Aldus also was the inventor of italics...

Moreover, honor standards vary so greatly that injustice...
Another example has been given of the failure of a student to grasp the fact that class-room lectures are confidential communications. Some of the very fair, though iconoclastic, remarks of Professor Channing were reported to the press and hopelessly twisted and colored.

The teaching faculty has been increased from 100 to 195, and the salary budget from $195,135 yearly to $401,310. While costs have thus been multiplied by two, the increase of students has been slightly less than 20 per cent. The students pay but little more in tuition...
