...electives in Fine Arts are to undergo some slight changes next year. Course I will be omitted on account of the temporary absence of Mr. Moore; Course II. will be altered but little; Course III. will become a one-hour elective entirely devoted to the Arts of the Age of Pericles. Lloyd's "Age of Pericles" will be used as a text-book, but the class will not be confined to it, as the course is by no means a text-book course. Since the recitations are but once a week, many will be able to elect it, who have...
...word the crews made a rather good start, the inside crew getting perhaps a slight advantage in the "send off." Before the turn, number three had practically fallen out of the race. Number one turned first, quickly followed by number two, who had kept well up to the inside boat. The race home between these boats was a continued struggle.

First a windmill, then a powder-magazine, it has felt the shock of revolution, and seen almost two centuries with their generations pass away. As we stand near its crumbling walls, our thoughts wander back more than a century ago, to the days of the good Queen Anne and the Georges, when the long arms of its fan turned merrily in the wind, and the early farmers...
