...such sketches as have been engraved separately, or for books illustrated by him. It is interesting to know, therefore, that in the catalogue to be prepared, extracts in reference to the different pictures will be given from Mr. Ruskin's works, who will himself send on several water-color sketches. As it is highly probable that the collection of the Duke of Montpensier from Spain will be opened at the Athenaeum this spring, there will be no excuse for us, if we do not try to get some conception of art from the masters thus presented...

There is a small disreputable-looking cap, resting in a half-intoxicated manner on the frame of "Ariadne"; it and its like were called the "Black Crook." Mine was of an olive color, and faded early to a sickly green. But what glorious times have we had together! I mentally poke it in the ribs, and we laugh over that first suspension in Freshman year.

...probable that we have had a representative color much longer than since 1859; and as the sanguinary magenta has come into existence since that date, it is reasonable to suppose that our former color was, what is now often attributed to us, crimson. On the respective merits of crimson and magenta we may not enlarge now; for how could our paper, named to represent our distinctive outward manifestation, designate itself by the uneuphonious name of "The Crimson"!

...blessings of our northern climate. And how many beautiful sights winter has for us if we will only look! The very drift of the snow, covering every stiff and uncomely object with flowing lines of beauty; or its tints at sunset, blue in the hollows and rose-colored on the hills; and even the smoke from the chimneys as it curls up so blue against the blue sky, - all these sights, and many more in infinite variety, are to be seen in a single walk up Brattle Street or over to Corey's Hill. I do not think...
