...admitted, was dead with all its faults and beauties, but it is still most interesting from a psychological standpoint for the French artists of this period devoted all their energies to the development of the varying moods of the heart: it was suffering and torment which these men strove so successfully to paint and these characteristics of mankind have always had a most human interest, not that man might revel in the sufferings of others, but that he might learn how another has endured what he in his turn may have to bear...

Among the early Buddhists transmigration was accepted without criticism. They endeavored to awaken the unconverted to the perception of the impermanence of all things.

With the same feeling as if Harvard had won we heartily congratulate Captain Waters and his men on their pluck and on the manly way in which they strove at least to win. There is a sort of "triumph in a losing cause" and Harvard can at least feel this triumph, for her game, though losing, was fair and sportsmanlike.
