SOME fate, unpropitious to the West End, seems to attend the placing of statues in Boston. Some one has already pointed out the bad taste displayed in putting Edward Everett in the Public Garden with his back to Beacon Street. George Washington has turned his steed from Beacon Hill, and is riding toward Natick. Even the Good Samaritan has "passed by on the other side"; and now the Genius of America on the top of the Monument has turned her back on that high-toned part of the city, and is facing that benighted region known as the South...
...them. The judges have invariably been men who have acquired a reputation in the subjects to which they were assigned; and in this way many of the contestants have had their work assayed in a much juster manner than would be possible in the contestants' own colleges. But the public have not yet been able to discover just how much an intercollegiate award means; for to know that a student from one college surpassed the students from several other colleges is very indefinite information.

In the first place, the crew have no right to ornament their private rooms with what has become college property; and in the second place, the danger that the flags...
...Sibley's resignation of the office of Librarian, in consequence of his failing eye-sight, the position, hardly expecting that it would be accepted, was offered Mr. Justin Winsor, who for nearly ten years has been the able and efficient Superintendent of the Boston Public Library. Of the subsequent proceedings between Mr. Winsor and the city authorities, wherein efforts were made to retain him, it is unnecessary here to speak, as the dailies have told the whole story time and time again. Whether Mr. Winsor was to be preferred to another great scholar and brilliant writer, for some time past...
