...legislature to the alumni, and their wise exercise of this power, has inspired its friends, within and without, with new interest and confidence, and hence the continuous flow of gifts, great and small, from rich and poor, into its treasury. Of course, we must not and do not forget the important agency of our president, elected three years after the new organization,-who, by the by, never would have been elected our president by the old board of overseers,-his increasing vigilance, his leader-like assurance have determined and directed many of the donations. Oftentimes in the progress of Memorial...
Setting aside this pleasant companionship, and the bare fact that Memorial embodies in its walls a large dining hall, we find certain other pleasant and memorable features also. Who can ever forget the visitors' gallery? Who wants to forget it?

While the partisans of the red and the white roses, or rather of Lancaster and York, were busily engaged in the conflict that eventually put Lancaster upon the throne, they did not forget to found Queen's College as a monument for future generations. E Asmus was a fellow of this college. A peculiar bridge, the mathematical bridge, leads the writer at Queens College to the other side...
