...thirty years ago. According to her story, he scowled at her fearfully, and gruffly bade her vacate immediately, and no longer let his room be desecrated by a female presence. Tradition makes spirits quite common around Cambridge, and the Professor at the Breakfast Table, you know, mentions having seen the devil's footsteps here in his youth. I have often fancied that certain black streaks on the end of Holworthy were his tracks burnt into the bricks, perhaps when he was going up to spend the evening in the third or fourth story. If they are his marks, he must...

...will be understood that the collection makes no moneyed profit from any of these sales. Its object is simply to foster the growing taste in the community for the higher forms of Art. Beauty cannot be known till seen; till the mind, indeed, is brought into somewhat familiar contact with it. By making beautiful objects easily accessible, the College may hope that its students will soon prefer these to the inane works which now decorate too many of their rooms. The keen interest which many of you are already showing is, I assure you, a source of sincere satisfaction...
