...Three Year Plan" by Professor Hall is a remarkably sane and clear presentation of the tendency towards a shortening of the College course. The point that the increased weekly number of lectures necessary to the three-year plan will diminish the hours spent in actual work is well taken. It is a real objection to the shorter course...

...cease to marvel at the large ingenuity expended in this creation. Leonard's description of the veteran who has been shot in the lip, and years after tries to tell the story of the "battle ob de Wappahanook," is a piece of blithering nonsense calculated to make a sane man doubt his own sanity, even as he wipes away the tears of laughter.

...introduction to the study of Shakspere. We are pleased to find in it none of the absurdities of the "inductive" school of criticism, which makes what should be a literary work seem like a text-book on graphic algebra or spherical geometry. The method here is absolutely sane and sound, the style is lucidity itself, fact is everywhere kept clear from inference, and there is no gush. There is not a silly sentence in the book. What reader of Dowden or Fleay can say that...
