...Noyes believes that Hamlet, with his intellectual ecstacy, was merely an apotheosis of Shakspere's former creation. Touchstone the Fool. Mr. Noyes maintained that it is difficult to conceive how critics could support the madness of Hamlet in the face of the fact that Shakspere himself ridicules other characters in the play for holding this same belief. In their swift, subtle phrases, modified by infinite jest and exquisite fancy, Hamlet and Touchstone can be identified as one and the same creation; and their further loyalty to love, and love for worship, seal their close relationship...
...habitual form of exercise and recreation at all country clubs of importance near Boston, it seems inconsistent that the University courts should be closed on this day. It is highly improbable that an appreciable number of students object to Sunday tennis on the grounds of moral principle.

Its reality and authority are as veritable and undeniable as the experience...
...expressed the opinion that students were probably better prepared in the University for the actual practice of their profession than anywhere wlse in the world. Since Langdell took control in 1871, the Law School has to its credit not only the evolution of the case system, but also the creation of an academic, non-practising group of teachers of law, and the elevation of standards for the law degree. These achievements have profoundly influenced the legal education of the country. Langdell, Ames, and Thayer are the leading names in this evolution. It will not be easy to find a successor...
