...believe that the step taken by the faculty in changing the hour of the final examinations from 9.30 to 9 o'clock is a wise one, and one which the students will find to be to their advantage. In the period in which the examinations come, the days begin to grow warm by half-past ten or so, and sometimes it becomes oppressively hot as early as ten even, and the gain of half an hour coming in the cool of the morning will at times be almost equivalent to an actual addition. Any men who have sweltered through...
...Burns had done its work through Keats that Tennyson came into prominence. Among his early poems two are especially prominent, the Recollections of Arabian Knights and Marianna. In 1833 Tennyson published his second volume with The Lady of Shalott as its first poem. These two volumes mark the lyrical period of his life. After 1833 came the idyllic period. He was an ideal descriptive writer, and from now on his touches of nature were especially delicate. In 1847 appeared The Princess, which dealt with the nature of man and woman. In 1850 he published his In Memoriam, which...
...refused to held the contest as early as May 14, Harvard was obliged to accept the date of Friday May 20 or else abandon altogether the chance of holding the games this year. It was a choice between leaving Cambridge during the week, and breaking seriously into the important period of college work, or permitting a blow to fall on athletics which the graduates of the two colleges had arranged between Harvard and Yale with so much care and with such sanguine expectations. Rather than allow these athletics such a set back, Harvard has chosen to break into her college...
Morality is to be considered in two aspects: the study of what is right, custom, according to rule, and the study of what is good, that which serves some great end. In prehistoric times there must have been a creative period to character, when the rule of duty was reflected from the love of the end that was served. There was moral liberty, and a duty dictated from the heart. Now the service in the science of ethics is to bring again a creative spirit and a creative effort in character. In matters of character it is after we have...
Dowden and other Shakesperian critics, have divided the range of the poet's composition into four periods. I should prefer to divide it into five, as follows: 1586-97 - the period which we will designate as marking the Romeo-Proteus-Biron mood. It is Shakespeare's lightest period, when the moral tendency is not really settled. The second period is from 1597-1603, marking the Jacques-Hamlet mood. The melancholy Jacques is a preparation for Hamlet. During this period, most of the sonnets were composed. Dur-the years 1603-1609, Shakespeare has returned to Stratford. This is his tragic period...
