...house refused to accept silver dollars except at their real value. A panic was only prevented by the passage of a law compelling national banks to receive the silver dollar at its face value. We ought not to run the risk of permanently impairing our credit merely for the sake of the senators who buy their seats with the silver they have made...
...disease. Goethe lived a silent life for twenty-seven years after and at his death left works which filled forty volumes. Of the two, Goethe was the more natural and worked on the inspiration of the moment; Schiller, a man who worked in art for art's sake. As to the relation that existed between these men, possibly the monument that is erected to their memory is the most complete.

Such courses are pre-eminently those which are stamped with the individuality of the instructor, and which, therefore, are most likely to come under the head of advanced electives. Take, for the sake of an example, Philosophy 4 and Fine Arts 4, courses the life of which is notoriously the personality of the instructors. It will be impossible, as the elective pamphlet is now arranged, for any member of next year's senior class to take these two courses together, and yet they...
