...marked among women, and it is gratifying to reflect that the patient Albert is due to have his name immortalized in return. It is inconceivable that, even with all her genius, his spouse could have risen to such proficiency unless she had had him to practice on. In what manner he provided occasion for his wife to exercise her vocal gifts will probably never be known; his efforts, or his misfortunes, will remain as one more quiet sacrifice to progress.

They have come here unusually for one purpose-to study, and they have been allowed to go their own way in the normal manner of the average undergraduate. Some, perhaps, have felt a coldness in the traditional Cambridge absence of attention, but the majority have a probably been rather grateful for an atmosphere which minimizes curiosity and accepts one and all in the same spirit of cosmopolitanism.
