...tribute to all those connected with the University who served in the American Civil War. Tablets and memorial windows especially perpetuate the names of those who lost their lives in service. A similar scheme, it seems proper, should be worked out for the commemoration of those who felt the call equally strong to go forth to battle for and to assist in the cause which had their devotion in the present war. The place suggested for the new memorial is Soldiers Field, and there it seems indeed fitting that the statue or other memorial should stand, dedicated to the memory...
...famous work, the "Epiphany," now in the Florence Academy. Colosanti thinks that the picture now in the Fogg Museum was painted at about the same time.

Some of them are pathetically conscientious students who persuade themselves that they have no time for such nonsense, and sit for hours poring over books that they could master in half the time if their brains were refreshed by a run, a sharp game of tennis, or even a brisk walk...
