...contemporary life and manners. The halo of fame hovering about his name is as venerable as it might well be with a hundred years or so behind it, and the gathering of this shy, shrinking, self-effacing little man to his fathers comes almost as an aftermath to a career which has reached the pinnacle of fame. It is almost ironical that Thomas Hardy, whose name will in time probably stand at the head of the list of his eminent contemporaries, should outlive them all. Furthermore, it is strange that an author whose "classic pessimism" is his outstanding characteristic should...
...true, but being a unique and significant event in the educational molding of a man, it deserves and demands long hours of cerebration. For it is often the one time that any literary production of the author appears in print. It is the single monument of his pictorial career, and on this attempt he triumphs or fails.

S. It can be supposed that he became President in about 1950, that the book is written perhaps...
...plan of the Faculty of the Engineering School and the Officers of the Society to provide graduate advice for students about to embark on an engineering career seems an excellent one, and an importance advance in post-graduate service for universities. "It is not intended that a graduate shall secure a position for a student,": says the announcement, "but rather that he will help the student to shape successfully his career." The graduates of at least ten years' standing, successful business men who have volunteered to help, are available in sufficient numbers. The only possible thwarting of the plan might...
