...artistic, complete and interesting procession that I have ever seen. It was intended to represent, as by a living panorama, the history of the university and city for the last five hundred years; and it certainly succeeded in bringing back those past epochs with startling vividness. There came a sudden clatter of mounted police, then a snarling of antique trumpets, and Lo! the hands on the dial of time swept suddenly back, all the harsh realism of the nineteenth century vanished, and the age of romance was with us once more.
