...Netherlands, as the most pleasing epochs in the world's history. It was then that the love of the beautiful reigned supreme, uncontaminated by the more artificial tastes of later times, when genius commanded the respect and position which gold does now, and painters and sculptors held a rank second to none in the estimation of the people.

Indeed, we half believe that the natural tendencies of this unfortunate ten incited them to their disreputable courses, almost as much as the effect of four years at New Haven. We hope that the paragraph will not have so bad an influence upon the size of '77 at Yale, as we apprehend...
