...great as Ozymandias, king of kings, were "scrapped" relentlessly by those moderns of long ago--scrapped in contemptuous fragments. Nothing more forever of Tirhaka the magnificent, of Tanut-Amon the irresistible! They were consigned to the deepest dump. But here comes a delving American scholar, from far-away around the earth, and, seeking for a place to put his own rubbish, inpinges upon the rubbish of the up-to-date builder of twenty-six centuries gone; he finds the pieces of Tirhaka and Tanut-Amon, reconstitutes them with care, and promotes them to the chiefest honor among the denizens...
...unmistakable affinity to some princely figures of Rheims Cathedral. It is, therefore, probably safest to consider it as an ideal impersonation of a mediaeval ruler. While the attempt made by some critics to identify this statue with the youthful Parzival is fantastical, it cannot be denied that in the far-away, dreamy, but spirited look of the rider there is something that suggests the Grail-seeker...
...joke on the front page was old in the far-away days when the "By The Way" column ceased to be novel, but the drawing is good. The editorial is not inspiring, and probably a candidate did not write it. For the rest of the number, the critic must lay aside his accustomed phrases reserved for Lampy, and simply say "good."

...there no such rink this year? I should be inclined to say that while the number of men who play hockey is comparatively small, the number of men who would like to skate, and who find themselves on the one hand too busy to go to the far-away ponds, and on the other, excluded from the College rinks, is very large. If the expense is larger than the subscription of one dollar apiece assessed last year, why could not the amount be made two dollars apiece; or why should not the Athletic Association pay part? For a large number...
...subscribed in a short time, when Louis Agassiz came to America, and announced a plan for the erection of his museum. A whole school of young zoologists grew up at Cambridge. Collections of all kinds were bought in the old and in the new world, expeditions were sent to far-away countries, and the depths of the sea were investigated. The ingenious investigator, who was always full of new ideas, had neither time nor patience for the sifting and arrangement of the extremely rich material: his son and successor undertook this task. As an administrator, Alexander Agassiz may be equaled...
