When Mr. Sumner returned to America he gave the wig to the Law school and at the time asked Judge Storey to have it put in a case and preserved. But for some reason this care does not seem to have been taken. It was then kept for many years in the old Law school building (now the store of the Co-operative Society) but at length its associations seem to have been entirely forgotten. Mr. George S. Hale says he once found it here and used it at some private theatricals in Boston but was ignorant that...
...April number of the Monthly is chiefly devoted to literary subjects. The graduate article, however, continues the discussion of independence in politics, begun by Mr. M. Storey and Mr. H. H. Darling. In "Public Opinion as a Force," Mr. T.

The evils of our present system are clearly set forth, especially the ineffectiveness of our legislative bodies and the danger of a partisan civil service. Recognizing the necessity of organization, Mr. Storey deplores the supremacy of the party spirit now so predominant in politics. He suggests as a substitute the organization of local clubs for the purpose of carrying out specific reforms. How such clubs could be useful in national questions without a central bureau which would be not unlike a party organization...
