...only other building which is at all needed at present is a new Law School. This, however, could be built for about $75,000, and the money for it would naturally come from some one more interested in the Law School than Mr. Hastings was. His gift is to the College; and as an expensive building must be put up, an Art Museum certainly has the strongest claim. Before the new building is begun, it is to be hoped that a definite plan (irrespective of existing buildings, if need be) for the buildings of the Yard may be agreed upon...
...club-house is a comfortable, well-built brick building, situated in as central a position as possible with regard to the various colleges. In the main hall are bulletin-boards for various notices and announcements, one for the latest telegrams, a letter-rack for letters addressed to the club, and such conveniences.

The College, certainly, owes a great debt of gratitude to Mrs. Sever for her gift, and in our opinion she made a much better disposition of her money than if she had tied it up in restricted scholarships, which seem to be the favorite investment with most of the benefactors...
...they walk the deck of the well-built trireme, and hearken to the music of the flute-playing Germani, and Fredricus is moved as to his heart with love, but Neptune, growing angry at Venus's having it all her own way, calls the winds. And they plough up the deep from its lowest bottom, and roll vast billows to the shores, and a steep mountain of water follows the well-built trireme, and Fredricus and Mary Ann are smitten with a terrible sensation. (In English, they are sea-sick...
