...force of a poet not by nature of the very highest order, such as Gray, and raises him to a rank beyond what his natural richness and power seem to promise. Goethe, with his fine critical perception, saw clearly enough both the power of style in itself, and the lack of style in the literature of his own country; and perhaps if we regard him solely as a German, not as an European, his great work was that he labored all his life to impart style into German literature, and firmly to establish it there.

Owing to unfortunate circumstances, an antagonism exists between the two clubs, although the individual members are on terms of cordiality.

Of this number of course there were some who failed to complete the year on account of lack of health or funds; but, of this entire number only forty-four men were, by the enforcement of discipline, removed from their class either during the year or at its close and either for deficiency in studies or in conduct...
