Like all such things, the procession was late in starting; but when it at last appeared, it was well calculated to chain the interest. It was altogether the most scholarly, artistic, complete and interesting procession that I have ever seen. It was intended to represent, as by a living panorama, the history of the university and city for the last five hundred years; and it certainly succeeded in bringing back those past epochs with startling vividness. There came a sudden clatter of mounted police, then a snarling of antique trumpets, and Lo! the hands on the dial of time swept...
