...Fraprie is a judicious guide, almost always discerning and pointing out the significant, the distinguishing feature of his castle. He tells the truth, unmasking the pretensions of Ardtornish for example; yet he does not despise the charming baseless tales which cling about many of the ruins, and which are more prized by the average tourist than is the truth. Occasionally, as in the case of Dunstaffnage, he exaggerates the grandeur or strength of a place: this castle does not at present rise sheer from the sea-cliff, and but for a garden wall it is quite easy to walk around...
...those we love, one of the holiest of human emotions, just so are we thrilled by nearness to nature, by the first touch of spring, by contact with enthusiasm, and by witnessing even so trivial a thing as some great game. The attraction is born in us and we cling to it at all costs. For intercollegiate games it is but one of the arguments, but one which has been forcefully...

The gorgeous highly-colored orchids of the tropics are comparatively rare, and the most brilliant are in secluded nooks or cling as epiphytes to the higher branches of the loftiest trees, well out of sight. And lastly, there is nothing in the tropics which can compare with the ever fresh surprise of the miracle of spring, even as it is seen in our austere and whimsical New England. Our plants, growing under such...
...said yesterday this very variety of events will probably interfere with the complete success of any one of them. It will do no good to urge men to go to the University game in preference to the football contests; and vice vesa it is absurd to advise men to cling to their class feeling and neglect the University games. Even were it reasonable to do either one of these things we cannot from our position, side with one contest to the exclusion of the other. This combination of events on one day is unfortunate, but nothing can be done about...
