...most part of Gothic architecture or at least of the general type of architecture that goes under the general term, line the High street on both sides. In each instance, I believe, the college quadrangle is entered by an archway. Most of these archways are high and wide and the stonework is most elaborately carved. Facing the uniform quadrangle are the chapel, the hall, the library, and the students' rooms. There is usually a back quadrangle or garden. Some of these are very large and are very beautifully kept. The buildings themselves are of great size and of the most...
...good playing on the part of Easton. Finally Bradford secured the ball, and after making a good run threw the first goal in fine form, at some 40 yards distance. Soon after play was resumed, a goal was claimed on Simson's throw. But was decided to be wide by Mr. Atkinson.

The college world is particularly its own, and this needless prying into it by outsiders is only to be condemned. It may come about, to be sure, that there are evils of importance to be corrected, which might be remedied by being placed before the country...
...utterly factitious and worthless these successes are a week after they will leave the school. The argument of the teacher is that the examination marks are a test of the pupil's proficiency. This is seldom correct. They are a test of his verbal memory and physical endurance. So wide is the range of study required now even in primary schools that nothing more can be done by the pupil than to commit the text-books to memory; to learn as it were the alphabet, the dictionary, of each science, in the vain hope that in after life...
