...story of the terrier follows: "The same gentleman, nothing discouraged by his adventure in the sporting field, immediately entered into another enterprise.

They abandoned their lessons, and hastily repaired to a convenient yard, where the crate with its squealing live stock was conveniently placed for the exhibition...

However, we might wait until the few necessary repairs are made - a few hundred dollars' worth. The Advocate asks three questions in answer to the reasons given by the faculty for closing the tower: "Why could...
...school, as well as the extraordinary opportunities which it offers for earnest scholars. The school year will extend from October 1st to June 1st, and studies during this time are to be prosecuted in Greece. There will be no fees whatsoever, but students will be obliged to live at their own expense or upon scholarships from their respective colleges. The probable expense is of course dependent upon the individual, differing from that of life in Europe generally. An extension will be made in favor of American students in Greece, so that they shall receive the benefit of the director...
