Professor Bouton was preeminently a teacher. Whether he were engaged in steering a Freshman section through the rocks and shoals that beset the approach to analytic geometry, or in guiding a graduate student in his research, he had an unerring instinct for picking out what was essential and vital, to the exclusion of the trivial and unimportant. His mathematical judgment was unerring, his advice on scientific questions was absolutely sound. No pains were too great to be expended on any student, his pupils had always the first claim to his time, and no one who applied...
...senseless rhapsodies into which the sensation-mongering Press are impelled by the annual approach of the Inter-University Boat Race, form already a danger sign to which it would be well to pay heed. Let these be relegated to our professional sportsmen and those amateurs who have devoted themselves to the maintenance and improvement of the national standard.

And it is in a Greek way, without the aid of short lines or expletive that Mr. McLane attains the dramatic, when Apollo, gazing on the priestess' beauty are he leaves, and sure of her love for him, hears her child...
...consists not in the performance of certain set rites, though this is a part of it; and not in holding a given body of doctrines or beliefs, though this also is a part; nor in under going any tremendous emotional experience, though this may serve as a means of approach; but it consists in having a reverent belief in God, a spirit of good will to men, and an aspiration of good will to men, and an aspiration to all that, is highest and best in life...
