...given in marriage to Peelers, that their son Achilles might be the bulwark of the Greeks. This marriage was one of the episodes which particularly attracted the vase-painters, and was subjected to endless variations in artistic handling. The Judgment of Paris was also a favorite subject in every period, although the art-types were very different in the archaic age from those of later times. The series of stereopticon views used to illustrate this incident gave a good idea of the artistic progress of the vase-makers, beginning with the stiff and conventional figures of the early vases...

A feature of no little interest is that this is not an antiquarian curiosity whose history has to be traced, with more or less of uncertainty and doubt, from one hand to another during a period of 250 years, but a document which not only is in legal custody, but in the self-same custody into which it passed so soon as the ink of the signatures to it was dry, and in which, I may add, it will remain so long as it shall endure...

During the same period, out of the thirty-one contests between Yale and Harvard in base-ball, foot-ball, rowing and track athletics, Yale has won twenty-one times, Harvard ten. While these facts may show nothing more than a coincidence, it seems to us to be a more reasonable conclusion to draw from these facts that Yale's victories have been one of the things, at least, that have...
