...vast array of celebrated names which strikes the eye of the visitor as he glances over the catalogue of pictures now on exhibition in Williams & Everett's gallery, makes one almost imagine himself in a European capital enjoying pictures which in America are characterized as "rare." Boston has seldom been favored with such a fine collection. Foremost among them is probably the finest Sehreyer ever seen here. The bright colors of the Arabian costumes, the superb action of the horses, the concentrated attention, go to make up a picture which gives us an idea of true art. The Diaz school...

If the school does not receive its full complement of members from the associated colleges, others, who are competent...
...stairs from bottom to top are self-supporting, without wood-work. This building is devoted wholly to the business of instruction, and the teachers are responsible for the good conduct of the pupils while under their care. When they pass from the recitation rooms they fall under the eye of an entirely different set of officers, who regulate their whole life apart from books. The discipline for offenders consists chiefly of admonition, deprivation of privileges, and seclusion. In extreme cases corporal punishment is administered in the presence of the president. Incorrigibles are expelled. A majority of the teachers and overseers...
