...exhibit ranges from portraits to cityscapes to glimpses into the studio life. Cassatt's severe and pensive mother makes a showing in drab black dress, a prim contrast to Thomas Hovenden's slumped self-portrait (1875).

At a time when our football team has come under such close scrutiny, players need to exhibit better judgment. Our players are, in many ways, the public face of our University. For this reason, their misdemeanors hurt more than their team; they put a blemish on the reputation of the University too. It is always difficult for outsiders to propose a course of change for insular institutions...
