...dollars have been spent, should be occupied by monumental buildings, worthy of the location and of the city. Here was the opportunity, when an institution of great reputation throughout the United States would erect such buildings, and thereby assure the future of that entire section; but the unfriendly clamor in previous years frightened that institution away, and with it the guarantee that that section would remain desirable. The point was driven home a little later, when, President Maclaurin having publicly announced that Technology was looking for a new residence, offers came immediately from many places. Springfield, for instance, offered...
...narrowness, we fear the author of yesterday's communication acquired writer's cramp. Certainly there is no attempt at ridicule, and we doubt if any one of that galaxy of fifteen stellar athletes who clamor at our gates would be so supersensitive as to let a lone cartoon of his race influence his choice of college.

...Kraniche des Ibykus," Ibykus, a Greek poet, is murdered while on his way from Rhegium to the games at Corinth, a swarm of cranes being the only witnesses to the crime.

So far, then, as hindsight avails, the Southerners in 1850 could not have seen any threat to their civilization from specific material interests in the North. It was the North's moral awakening...
...they could demand a new issue of legal tender, or resort to some form of wild-cat banking, or, what is more probable, they would resort to some form of silver inflation. Twenty-five per cent, of the currency would be called into the treasury and burned, and the clamor for silver will be increased to that extent. Since the silver dollar actually possesses some intrinsic value, it furnishes a much more insidious temptation to inflation than do the legal tender. This fact it proved conclusively by recent events; for, although the demand for paper inflation has died out, only...
