...directly representative of the interests of the common people. This is, of course, conducive to a purity of politics which in this country is unknown. The advocates of direct personal suffrage claim that the introduction of that system into Germany would be better for the country inasmuch as the poorer classes of people would be ensured, more direct representation in the national legislature.

...copper coins contains the liead of Gordianus Africanus II., who reigned forty days. Another shows the ill-fated features of a sixty-six-day emperor. Had these monarchs been as slow in securing their counterfeit presentments as a Harvard senior of today is, the collection would be poorer by several brave heads. Another larger but more miscellaneous numismatic collection consist of several hundred English, French, Spanish, East Indian and Chinese coins.
