Digger Ferrua believes that the catacomb, to judge from its artistic style, dates from the 4th century A.D.

Many of the pictures are about obscure subjects, and much work will have to be done before their significance can be determined...
...would be expected," says McCluskey, "a few of the traditional liberal-arts strongholds have consistently gobbled up the lion's share [of scholarships]. Five schools account for slightly over one-fifth ... They are Princeton with 89, Harvard with 77, Yale with 74, Dartmouth with 34 and Virginia with 29.

Executive Vice President John Toigo brought the Schlitz beer account into the firm early this year without consulting Biow; angrily, Biow threw Schlitz back out, took over the company again...
...effect of high birth or low birth, private station or governing station, strength or weakness, cleverness or dullness in learning, and all such qualities of the soul natural or acquired-what effects they will have when commingled together; so that it will be possible for him, by taking account of all these things, to make his choice: keeping his gaze fixed all the while on the nature of the soul, and considering both the worse and the better life, calling it worse if it so leads the soul that it becomes more unjust, and better if it leads the soul...
