...valuable addition to the Amherst College art gallery has been recently received, in the shape of two rare casts. One is Michael Angelo's "II Penseroso," and is the only cast of the statue in America. The other is the "Sleeping Ariadne," the original of which is in the Vatican...
...Abbott as his estimate of the total expenses of an undergraduate for a full year, including the long vacation, the sum of $1200. Dr. Abbott says the English college student is the "university gentleman." "No student smokes in the streets; no gentleman student drinks at a bar; drunkenness is rare and disgraceful; the wine parties that Tom Brown used to attend are going out of fashion; college rows and scrapes are things of the past; the ancient brawls between town and gown are no more known; hazing is unheard of."

In dining, when excessively hungry, he has been known to look at a lily in a glass of water for fully five minutes, and then waddle away and loosen his waistcoat. But such gluttony is very rare with the great aesthete, and ordinarily a hasty glance at a photograph of a sandwich is all he feels warranted in taking. By the exercise of constant care he thus avoids overloading the stomach. The great man will lecture through the country, and we infer that the price of admission...
