...Tower, lately restored and furnished throughout by Sir Gilbert Scott, the mist renowned restorator in England. To the right of these towers stands the chapel, a beautiful specimen of architecture, with its fine entrance porch covered with ivy. The interior, although fine, is not striking; the elaborately carved screen dividing it into two parts spoiling the symmetry of the aisles, while the stained glass windows are not particularly rich, most of the original glass having been broken by the Roundheads during the parliamentary wars. The organ is an excellent instrument and the Magdalen choir is one of the best...
...part of the partition in the auditor's room of Memorial Hall is now in place. It is made of ash to match the dado, with a top of black walnut. A gilded, open-work screen extending around the whole length will make the total height of the partition six and one-half feet...

...president and corporation of Harvard College and six hundred students to boot. He probably knew why the directors remained together four hours in one day and then handed in a report to their constituents covering half a page of foolscap. He had been many times behind that mystery-hiding screen and could tell, if he would, why it takes fifteen minutes to get a cup of coffee and two minutes to have a steak and fried potatoes cooked to order. He might also explain why it is that, although the students have full power, yet they cannot add pickles...
