...learning new things; in our freshman year, for instance, we found out how really large Harvard was; we saw the Washington elm, Longfellow's house, Tufts college, and all the other great sights in the vicinity, and, true to Harvard instinct, were ready and able to talk about the region for miles around. When, however, we were asked if we had visited Wellesley, our invariable answer was "No;" but we always added that we had friends there, and had been invited out, but had never cared to go. We then, thought this was a wise answer...
...ever forget the visitors' gallery? Who wants to forget it? Some have almost irreverently called it the "upper world," from which angels at times appear and look down upon the wicked and busy mortals below. Once, we are told, a sweet scented rose fell from this ethereal region. This sacred region is the object of no little worship.

Prof. Marsh is pushing the work with great enterprise and at great personal expense. He is giving foreign universities the benefit of the collection by sending many plaster casts to them...
...scarcely a road is without this improvement, and iron rails are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. On account of a recent improvement, the power of the Bessemer process has been largely increased. It was formerly limited to certain ores, which were scarce in the coal region of our country, but now can be extended to such a degree as to be almost universal in its workings...
