...first half of the game neither side had gained a goal, or even a touch-down. In the second half Seamans kicked it about thirty yards, and landed it safely between and beyond the poles. Jordan made several worthy attempts at goal-kicks, but though the kicks themselves were splendid, they failed to count, and the game closed with the score standing, - Harvard, one goal; McGill, nothing. McGibbon, Campbell, Taylor, and Scriver did some magnificent playing for the home team, while among the Harvards, Lombard, Jordan, Wetherbee, and Curtis played excellently. This was one of the hardest-fought matches...
...picture which has meaning will impress that meaning upon you. The sublime figures which the old artists of Italy have left behind them cannot fail to arouse wondering thoughts of the minds which could conceive such forms, and of the thought which must have brought them into being. The splendid limbs of the marble relics of the ancients will carry you back to the days when men saw such limbs at every turn.

...least intelligible was the most "high art," I chose the Portfolio, a journal which, until my culture-mania, I had looked upon as the acme of stupidity, and began studying the etchings published therein. By dint of sitting before each plate for half an hour and exclaiming, "How splendid! What depth and juiciness of tone! What exquisite grace in the curves of the left toe!" etc., I had got in a few months to such a pitch of development that the sight of an etching at forty rods affected me to tears...
