...pupil enters a house just as at Oxford or Cambridge he enters a 'college.' He becomes a member of that house. At Rugby there are eight of these different houses, and about the same number at Eton. Each of these houses is under the charge of its own house master. He carries it on as a boarding-house, takes the fees and furnishes the table, and pockets the profits or the loss. It is always a profit, and generally a good one. Teaching is a much more remunerative business in England than in America. The master's salary will ordinarily...
...Arbor, Dr. W. D. Wilson, Prof. Babcock, architect, and President White. Since the opening of Sage College the number of young women who have availed themselves of the privileges of Cornell University has steadily increased. At the last commencement two Baccalaureate degrees were awarded to ladies, while two received master's degrees. There are now fifty-two young ladies, undergraduates and graduates, whose names appear in the Register for 1882-83 in the list of students...
These are entirely separate institutions. Each one has its own particular head, called a master; warden, provost, etc. To each college appertain a number of fellows, whose positions are almost opposite to those of the fellows of American colleges, since they are persons who have won their places solely by hard study and high standing-in fact, they are generally poor but bright graduates.

The rising Russian painter, Basile Vereschagin, on entering the studio of Picot to learn the rudiments of his art, refused to be made the victim of the rough treatment to which it was proposed to subject him. This consisted in attaching...
...freshness of youth, with none of the inexperience of the novice. The "Siegfried Idyl" is of a different style from any of the Wagner selections previously given in the course. Labyrinthian in its construction, and delightfully startling in its cadences, it is instinct with the spirit of the dead master. Still it is impossible to get an adequate conception of Wagner's genius as a composer, by hearing simply a detached selection. On the whole, the concert, although hardly up to the standard of the last one, was one of the most enjoyable of the present course...
