...beyond a question that one's intellectual dominion is greatly extended even by the mere ability to read other languages than his own. For it is precisely those works which are most characteristic, which most deepen and widen the mind, which quicken the sense of beauty, which beckon the imagination-it is precisely those which are untranslatable, nay, which are so in exact proportion as they are masterly. This is especially true of the great poets, the glow of whose genius fuses the word and the idea into a rich Corinthian metal which no imitation can replace. One feels this...
From the earliest days of Massachusetts the ministers have been recognized as representing the chief element of learning, and their opinions have always been much valued on all matters. Even the legislature of the state has listened regularly once a year, until a few years ago, to a sermon by some eminent clergyman, usually discussing most frankly some important political question. From 1634 to 1884 a sermon was preached every year before the General Court of Massachusetts, and usually this sermon was printed and widely scattered over the state. In 1884 the law providing for this annual sermon was repealed...

There will be the great athletic field in the future and the event of its ever being used for other than athletic purposes is too distant to be taken into account.

...distance, will not be exceedingly large and will grow constantly smaller as we accustom ourselves to the change. On the other hand, the Tennis Association needed ground badly; the number of courts has been, in the past, inadequate to the demand for them, and this has hampered, and even wholly prevented, exercise by many students. We regard it, in any case, as more important that room should be made for students to exercise themselves, than for them to see others exercise; and, since in this case to make the one possible has not made the other impossible, we believe that...
...several good pieces of fiction in the number. "An Unconventional Detective Story," by L. W. Mott and Louis How, and "Pot Boiling," by H. C. Greene, are amusingly written and have the additional merit of originality. In this respect alone are they superior to E. G. Knoblauch's "Even in Cambridge." Several of the Kodaks are pleasing, but the few other articles are unimportant if not uninteresting...
