...eager throng is surging to and for in front of a long, low window; men are crowding and elbowing each other; old hags are pointing toward the glass, and croaking to one another; pretty women are gazing with white faces of pity, but with none the less thirsty greediness, upon some fascinating spectacle; little children are being held aloft in strong arms, that they too may see the dreadful thing, and they do see, and they toss their tiny, wavering arms aloft and crow right gleefully.

Only $80 remains to be collected, and, with the incentive which so small a deficiency holds out, no further trouble in completing the amount should, apparently, be apprehended. Unfortunately, however, the subscriptions have fallen off to next to nothing in the past few days. The college has either forgotten about the society, or else...
