...which human nature is susceptible is found in this character. Ambition, gratified pride, love, hate, fear, and remorse, each struggle in turn for the mastery, and these, it is needless to say, are portrayed by Miss Leclercq in a most artistic and powerful manner. Miss Orton has the part of Grace Roseberry, which, in her hands, seems overdrawn, not to say fantastic...
must be the criticisms admitted into a college paper; they must be neither too bold, for fear of giving offence to the Faculty, nor too mild, for fear of their not finding readers. Usually a criticism upon any study in college, or upon any particular part of it, - either as relating to its usefulness or to the manner in which it is taught, - has to be stated in very general terms; if it is not so put, if anything specific is pointed out, the instructors in that branch are apt to feel that the criticism arises from personal dislike rather...

What articles are not of this nature are the merest society twaddle. Servant-girls and babies may be very pleasant topics of conversation...
...perhaps feel the force of a few words on what is becoming so common at Harvard, a fashion of trying to get a general idea of all the elective studies, rather than an accurate knowledge of a few. This desire for a little of everything seems to result in part from a very imperfect conception of what is called Culture, - that movement of which Matthew Arnold was the leader, and of which he himself says that its aim is the perfection of our human nature on all its sides, in all its capacities; that it presses ever onwards...
