...before did not know that they were on exhibition. This exhibition, I learn, takes the place of the former practice of opening the collection a certain number of hours every week for those who have made appointments. The new arrangement will undoubtedly please all who really wish to get from these art treasures what can be gotten by continued and undisturbed study, and what can never be obtained by satisfying a restless curiosity, which would skim over twenty prints in a time scarcely sufficient to get what there is in one. These prints will remain on exhibition for ten days...
...must accommodate ourselves to the present surrounding conditions, however unfortunate they may be, and make college papers as full of matters of general interest as possible. But the news of one college is well known to its undergraduates before it can get into the college papers; and thus "Locals" and "Brevities" are generally only a convenient method of preserving in print for future reference facts of interest.

Lowell says, "I have seen within a mile of home effects of color as lovely as any irridescence of the Silberdown after sundown...
...get the true spirit of winter one ought to skate, I think, and that not in a rink, but on a lake or river, where one can look off to the hills and woods and feel the keen air. Now that club skates, star and acme skates, have come into fashion, we need not pinch our feet with the barbarous straps or numb our fingers in making our preparations to get on the ice. One difficulty in skating there certainly is in Cambridge: the only available lake is Fresh Pond, and it is almost impossible to make sure of there...
