...question of local color is the hardest that comes to the artist. Things are not really the way they look. When we paint for example a summer scene, putting in all the rich greens and other bright colors, we get nothing approaching the true effect. Those artists who have been most successful in catching the salient points of a scene and in making it all true, use always soft colors, gray and yellow ochre.

...person Booth was singularly good to look at. He was of middle height and more closely knit than most Americans, but his body, though so compact, was grace itself. Every muscle, every feature was under perfect control, and it was this that enabled him to be his best characters rather than to act them.

Instead of pursuing either of the extreme courses a bridge has been put across between them. Right here, it seems to us, the petitioners have gone astray. They seem to look upon the new relations between Harvard and the Annex as an accomplished end rather than as a first step towards an end. They see something which is unsatisfactory and they reason that therefore it is wrong. Unless we are very much mistaken a majority of Harvard professors and some...
