...February number of the Monthly the principal article, at least in point of length, is the "Notes on Drawings by J. M. W. Turner in Cambridge and Boston." The notes, considerably after the manner of Ruskin, are as instructive as they are meant to be. An aggressively sapient piece of work, the article may interest those who are interested in Turner, if they are willing to forgive a patronizing tone for the sake of being informed. The dogmatic manner in art criticism, justified in Ruskin's case by his authoritative position, may in this article repel those who prefer...
...this is true at least of Matthews, I am not certain as to the others--there is one and only one rope fire escape, by which one person could probably descend in safety. It is so arranged that it cannot be used a second time without pulling the entire length of the rope through a device which grips it tightly (preventing the descent from being too rapid). This would take at least ten minutes after the seat of the escape has been thrown back up to the window. Meanwhile the remaining occupant of the room would probably be suffocated...
...college men as characters are tiresome and force the suggestion that in the search for "filler" the editor's drawer is being taxed too heavily.

A swimming tank finished in marble is also in the basement. This tank is 100 feet in length and at its widest point is 50 feet. The floor is so made that from or steel nails, are done away with wooden pegs being used instead. Andover Academy has a larger gymnasium than our own. The time has come I belive, when Harvard herself should take in this matter...
...college will enter fifty prints, of which not more than ten may be the work of the same man. These prints will probably be judged in New York and will then be put on exhibition for one week in the Museum Room of Robinson Hall and for the same length of time at Philadelphia. The Harvard Camera Club will choose one of the judges, the Pennsylvania Club another, and the third will be selected by the two thus chosen. A prize will be awarded to the club whose exhibit shows the highest artistic merit. First and second prizes...
