...painted china ware were very fascinating and exceedingly well executed. Much of the work in the Art School department was in the line more of studies than of paintings with any prominent meaning. The visitor was amused at seeing in almost every third or fourth picture an old skull with high cheek bones; and, when the model itself was found in an out-of-the-way corner, it was like coming upon an old friend. The sculpture, of which there were several very good pieces on exhibition, was still not equal in excellency to the painting; but, of course, this...
...four corpses, which are lying upon iron frameworks behind the glass, their heads propped high, their jaws agape, and their eyes staring in all the grim majesty of Death, as they gaze unflinchingly upon the guests who are thronging to this grisly reception.

Such are few of the wonders of the museum...

The balance of the men were of medium build, gradually dwindling down to the small but active full-back of the blues, gay in sky-blue campaign blouse and skull cap. There was an apparent lack of canvas jackets, but the increasing demand for those articles on account of the late order of the committee on athletics had depleted the home market, and the players had to content themselves with flannel shirts of various hues, to say nothing...
