...place of hard work, not merely hard work but of real grind. The curriculum is almost wholly prescribed, the long day is almost wholly given over to lectures, recitations and laboratory studies and the day's work is followed by lessons which require hours of study. There is little relief from the grind, no athletics, no dramatics, no musical or glee clubs, no periodicals, no rallies, none practically of the extra-curricular activities which play so big a part in the college life of our country.

But large further sums were spent on such bric-a- brackery, such articles of virtu, as 37 bronze-labeled stones from foreign countries in the "Hall of Nations." This hall also contains a bronze bas-relief of Thomas A. Edison, who presented the first practical cinema reel (1894), scenes of prize fights, fencing matches, dances and vaudeville skits. Inventor Edison was so intent on maintaining the profitable novelty of his pictures in the U. S. that he neglected to patent his process abroad. The side rooms...
