...SPEECH.William Henry Cox was the second speaker for Yale. He said that, while political parties were a necessity as an agency to unite action, allegiance to them might readily become blind and therefore disastrous to the country.

The knowledge of the life-size is the great inspiration of this movement, and it toward this as a study that our artists must turn their steps. With this object in view we must follow the example of the modern schools which are nearest us and then, for the highest development, turn to the ancient masterpieces...
