Torrence Parker, with mild sarcasm, rather cleverly defends the much-abused "Chirography of the Harvard Instructors in English;" but the remaining articles of the number will probably prove more interesting to most of the students.

It is a remarkable value...
...college been founded, and for him has the world been growing better and happier ever since the beginning. But there can be no more narrow or dismal way of looking at one's life than to regard it as the perfection of all efforts of the past. Rather, it is but a step in the attainment of the final end. Every life should be a life of preparation, of helping others and making the world ready for Christ's second coming. Then only can it be called a complete life...
