...Memorial Hall and Soldiers Field are monuments to the Harvard men who fell in 1861-65. Yet we of the present generation, while we deeply sympathize, can hardly appreciate the conditions in European universities today. The following extract from the Review, of Cambridge, England, shows a situation and a spirit which are only too common in institutions of learning throughout all Europe...
...Cornell Sun, in its post-victoriam number, reprints under the heading "True Cornell Spirit" a paragraph from the New York Tribune commending the manner in which the Cornell supporters received the news of their victory. "In place of the wild dash to the gridiron and the rollicking snake dance, the Cornell men stood in their places and sang their college hymn.

Aside from all that, however, "Trilby" is remarkably forceful in every way. The setting is admirably effective, the parts without exception well taken...
...confess my inability, in the space of time allowed, to do justice to Mr. Dana's lofty character and to his signally noble career, which was guided from first to last by high principle, an indomitable courage, a lofty independence of spirit, and a mind always conscious to itself of right. He met with many cruel disappointments, his aspiring dreams were not realized, but take him, all for all, he was a man of whom his native state and country may well be proud, and give him a high place among its immortals...
