...which are held the Common Pleas Court, the Superior, Criminal, and Civil Courts, and the Supreme Court, and within a stone's throw are the United States district and Circuit Courts; to all these court-rooms the law students are admitted with members of the bar, and have rare opportunities to see practical application of the principles which they find in their books. The Law School library is said to be the best in the country, containing all the English and American reports...
...announcement of the Harvard University School of Veterinary Medicine, Session 1886-87. This time honored institution of learning, whose fame is world-wide in all that relates to science and art, has, in connection with its Medical department, established a Veterinary School, presided over by a veterinarian of rare accomplishment, ripe judgment, and unlimited practical experience - qualifications that are exceptionally beneficial in directing the course of studies to be adopted by students.

By a common and silent consent, the objection to active exercise passes over the ordinary ill received, and fixes itself almost entirely on one organ...
...love ditty, the laboriously elaborated scholastic exercise, the philosophical sonnet, the frothy nothing, and the pessimistic snarl. A great portion of the writing is naturally the direct outcome of affectation, much of the rest from an ambition to shine as a literary light. But here and there at rare intervals we catch a glimmer, transient, it is true, of a pure, new thought, which will not be crowded out, and will in its utterance prove its own intrinsic worth. This, then, we may fairly accept as the basis of Harvard poetry. But what are the poets? Of course we have...
