...could be, and that if they were the work would be better and not worse done. And he quotes with some energy the fact that the richest Scotchman who ever lived began life in New York as a shop assistant, with a university degree. The most efficient of continental mankind, the Prussian, agrees with the Scotchman, and so in theory does the hardest of earthly workers, the Chinese, though his notion of what education is partly puts him out of court. So in our own day and country do all manner of governing men, who say deliberately, and greatly...
This evening the Casino is to open. The Casino is the Mechanics' Institute building transformed into a theatre, jardin mabille, zoological garden, opera house, gymnasium, circus; in fact it is impossible to imagine anything, calculated to contribute to the amusement of mankind, that will not be found in this new elysium.

GREAT is the art of verse-making, and much to be desired! It is the art of arts, - the constant vehicle for the burning thoughts of mankind. It is the art which every Harvard man would do well to cultivate, if he wish to distinguish himself and perhaps become even an editor of a College paper. But to make good verses - that is, good Harvard verses - requires considerable skill and tact; not genius, nothing so vulgar and trivial as genius...
