...interviews between Sir Gawain and the lady are managed with great delicacy, yet with no distinct reticence. Few things, too, could have been more difficult than to conduct Sir Gawain through these adventures without making him appear ridiculous. He is pictured as modest, brave, courteous and steadfast in faith. Even King Arthur is not the shadowy phantom we usually meet with, but real flesh and blood. The descriptions of the hunts are unsurpassed in English poetry and lend color and reality to the plot. Not the least remarkable characteristic of this poem is its elevated morality, a great contrast...
Years before Dudley came to Harvard College there were in New England a number of French Huguenots driven into exile by the edict of Nantes. The story of their sufferings on account of their faith awakened the sympathy of the New Englanders.

...Harvard took Yale's letter in good faith, and answered in the same spirit, the result was that the athletic relations between the two universities lapsed. Obviously they could only be restored by the party that broke them off. Here comes the whole question at issue. Which college really took the initiative, the one that made a demand which public opinion has adjudged it impossible to comply with without loss of self-respect, or the one that merely states its inability to accede to this demand? "Call black, white," says Yale, "or we shall not play." "We cannot," says Harvard...
