...wrong. And why should we not study art systematically? If I place a picture of Albert Durer's before an ignorant person, he will doubtless feel none of the beauty which is certainly there. Nor will my saying to him, "This is a beautiful picture," do good. We must all have education in art, as well as in everything else requiring knowledge and judgment; and, in my opinion, this education is best secured by the analytical system of Mr. Ruskin...
...ideas, any one who should put a decent amount of work upon Horace, and find no beauty in it, would, in my opinion, find none were it pointed out to him with ever so much care and repetition. And as to the beauty of expression, some of this must be seen in the anatomical dissection spoken of. But are we so in want of instruction in the beauty of expression of the old writers? Methinks I remember a classical course in my Freshman year, where it was considered that the "happy rendering of this" and the "humorous...

...readers of a college journal are probably as exacting in their demands as those of any other periodical. Not only must the ideas be satisfactory, but the style must be pleasant, and the whole invite perusal. The writer who endeavors to please by his wit is sometimes charged with "pandering to a low taste for jokes"; the man who would satirize prevalent follies hears his piece called sick unless he has proved himself equal to the task. Another who would enforce his opinions, on consulting his friend, finds that his essay has been unread. Such rebuffs are naturally disheartening...
