...master of style. Mr. Boyesen has been known to our public during several years, as an author-as a novelist, poet, and critic. It may fairly be said that he is an American author, though he is a Norwegian. His romances and stories have exhibited a sensitive mind, an observant sight, and bright fancy. "Gunnar" and the "Idyls of Norway" are fresh and genuine expressions of his nature. His first play "Alpine Roses," which was presented last evening with marked success at the Madison Square Theatre, is built upon one of his pathetic tales, and the tale has been skillfully...
...college papers afford just this opportunity, an opportunity for the most varied kind of talent-humorous articles in the Lampoon, stories in the Advocate, and general articles and expressions of opinion in the HERALD-CRIMSON.

In early and credulous youth I had studied the works of Cornelous youth I had studied the works of Cornelius Agrippa and Petrus de Abano. Their lessons, which had not hitherto been of much practical service, recurred to my mind. Stooping down I drew a circle round myself and my old friend in the fragrant white blossoms which were strewn so thick that they quite hid the grass.
