These are all points of factual detail, but the treatment given them in your article is not such as will inspire confidence that the second question called for an essay on the July Monarchy, but it is clear to me from his further remarks, that he understood this to mean that he was to write the history of the July Monarchy in twenty minutes. His estimate of my judgment seems to be desperately low, but let that pass. My real purpose was to find out what the members of the course would say about the July. Monarchy if they...

The Yard, with its ivy covered buildings, is the heart and soul of the University, and its atmosphere and traditions cannot be adequately replaced by any number of House Units, no matter...
